The following is meant solely to help the reader understand the main features of primary regulations governing this activity, and not meant in any way to provide a legal interpretation.
Woodworker Lien Act:
This Act provides for liens (legal claims) on logs or timber for the amount due for labour or services performed in connection with them. A lien arising under the act is void unless a statement in writing, verified on oath, is filed in the office of a registrar of the Supreme Court. The statement must set out the nature and amount of the debt and a description of the logs or timber and must be filed within 30 days after the last day the labour or services were performed.
The lien is enforceable by action in the Supreme Court where the statement of lien is filed. Generally, the lien will cease unless proceedings to enforce the lien commence within 30 days after the filing of the statement.
