The following excerpt is from Jones v. Jarvis et al, 1923 CanLII 324 (SKDC):
The point arose in Jordan v. Haugerud 1919 CanLII 301 (SK QB), [1919] 1 W.W.R. 506, as to whether a mechanics’ lien could be claimed for ploughing and breaking land, but Haultain, C.J.S., who gave the decision referred to expressly refrains from making any finding upon this point and confesses that he has very great doubt upon the question.
