Owner hired a licensed GC to perform work on a building. GC then brought day-laborers to the job site, and allegedly didn't pay them. GC has disappeared and filed for bankruptcy. Laborers, through the Labor Commissioner, recorded mechanics liens 100 days after cessation of work on Owner's property. Included numerous claims in their lien that are likely false, and likely cannot be proven. Laborers then filed a lawsuit to foreclose for unpaid wages and interest 91 days later against the property manager, assuming he was the Owner of the property, when he was not. Afterwards, Laborers filed an amendment to their mechanics lien another 6 months later after the original lien/cessation of work, requesting even more money, without any reasonable explanation. Finally, the Laborers then filed a lawsuit to foreclose on the amended mechanics lien 6 months after recording their mechanics lien. (1) Are unpaid wages and interest the appropriate measure of damages for laborers in this scenario? The reasonable value of the work is close to nothing, because Owner received no benefit and had to pay a separate contractor even more to perform the work the Laborers asserted. (2) Is either the original or the amended mechanics lien valid, given the timing of their respective lawsuits? Do they relate back?
