  • Summary

  • 1. Mechanic's Liens revisited: Eric has a dispute with the roofer who put a new roof on his house. The roofer puts a Mechanic's Lien upon the title to Eric's house. What did the Judge do with the Mechanic's Lien, and what can we all (contractors and homeowners) learn from the case?
    2. A Jury awards a massive amount of punitive damages against a Connecticut municipality for discriminating against people with disabilities. How much is "too much?" The Second Circuit Court of Appeals gives guidance. Spoiler alert: look at the ratio of punitive damages to compensatory damages.

    We only had one airable call: Gentleman asked about what happens when an Irrevocable Trust terminates, and what are the tax consequences for the beneficiaries who receive the final distributions?
