On July 15, 2005, Judge Lillian Y. Lim of the El Cajon Superior Court entered a judgment in favor of Starrett Construction, Inc. in the amount of $26,852.64 in the matter of Starrett Construction, Inc. v. Gary L. Franks dba G&S Concrete Construction, El Cajon Superior Court Case No. GIC847050. The judgment concluded 4 months of litigation.
Starrett Construction was the general contractor on a project known as the Stowe Plaza Shopping Center located at the Northwest corner of Scripps Poway Parkway and Stowe Drive in Poway, CA. Starrett Construction entered into a written subcontract with Gary L. Franks dba G&S Concrete Construction ("G&S") for site contract and masonry (i.e. sidewalks and other flatwork). Although, Starrett Construction paid G&S in full for the services rendered under the subcontract, G&S failed to pay for the concrete used on the project. As a result, the concrete supplier filed a mechanic’s lien against the project and a lawsuit to foreclose on the mechanic’s lien.
