Construction Contracts

Mechanics Liens

Does a mechanics lien exist in Georgia?

An automatic lien arising by itself from construction work does not exist in Georgian law. There are two real instruments: a mortgage over the construction land plot and a pledge over movable things produced or repaired by the contractor.

When may I demand a mortgage over the construction plot?

Where the subject of the contract is a structure or its separate parts, the contractor may demand a mortgage over the construction land plot for claims arising from the contract.

Which movable things does the pledge cover?

The contractor may use a right of pledge over the movable thing it produced or repaired, where that thing is in its possession for the purpose of production or repair.

What preference does the pledgee have?

The pledgee has from the object of the pledge the right of preferential satisfaction compared with other creditors: the claim is satisfied from realisation of the pledged property or, by agreement, from taking it into ownership.

What happens on early termination of the contract?

Where the contractor terminates under the corresponding norm of the Code, it may demand the part of the remuneration corresponding to its earlier services, provided the customer has an interest in them.

Mechanics Liens in Georgian Law

The mechanics lien known in international practice means a special security that arises by operation of law directly from the performance of construction work and attaches automatically to the customer's property for the contractor's claim. Clarity is needed here: Georgian law has no such automatic lien arising by itself from construction work. What Georgian law offers are two real instruments: a mortgage over the construction land plot, and a pledge over movable things, both described by agreement and registration. This page explains precisely these two real instruments and the claims around them, so that a contractor builds the security of its fee on a legal foundation instead of an imagination.
