Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Western Realty Projects Ltd. v. Superior Grout & Gunite Ltd., 1975 CanLII 257 (AB QB):

The outcome of Glenway Supply v. Knobloch was that though the return work was only of a trivial nature the contract was not completed until that work was done. Hence the Glenway lien was declared valid.
