Are you worried about your property being sold by your creditor?

ATAC LAW is here to support you with a proven successful matter.

Most people assume that once a creditor registers a judgment against their home, a forced sale is inevitable. That assumption has cost families their properties, but it isn't always true.

Thanks to the work of Raymond Jin, a multi-million dollar Vancouver home was recently protected from forced sale, even though a judgment had already been registered against the title. The case was dismissed at the very first hearing, before it ever reached a registrar.

This case is an important reminder for:

- Owners trying to protect a project
- Contractors dealing with payment disputes
- Subcontractors looking to preserve lien rights

The key lesson is simple: once notice is received, every payment decision matters.

Read the full article to understand what this ruling means and how it could affect your legal and financial position on a construction project.

What do you think owners should do first when they receive a subcontractor’s lien notice?

In Lonsdale Quay Market Corporation v. Klondike Contracting Corporation 2025 BCCA 461, the British Columbia Court of Appeal confirmed that if an owner, despite receiving notice of a subcontractor’s claim of lien, continues to pay a defaulting contractor, the payments will not reduce the “amount ...
