Colorado § 38-22-117

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 38: Property -
• Art.: General Mechanics' Lien

Text

Any party claiming a
lien may assign in writing his claim and lien to any other claimant or other person
who shall thereupon have all the rights and remedies of the assignor for the
purpose of filing and for the enforcement of any such lien by action under this
article, and the assignment shall be a sufficient consideration as to all other parties
for the purpose of such action. Such assignment may be made before or after the
filing of the statement of lien. Any such claimant, whether as assignee or otherwise,
may include all the liens he may possess against the same property in any such
statement, and when more than one such claim is included in one such statement,
one verification thereto shall be sufficient. Any person may file separate
statements of two or more claims. If, on the trial of a cause under the provisions of
this article, the proceedings will not support a lien, the plaintiff and all lien
claimants entitled thereto may proceed to judgment as in an action on contract, and
executions may issue as provided in such cases, and said judgment shall have all
the rights of a judgment in a personal action.
