How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that “[m]any states give unpaid contractors a mechanic’s lien that is superior to all other security interests”
• observing that unlike most other insurance, title insurance “generally protects against defects in title that arose prior to the issuance of a policy, allowing the insurer to reduce or eliminate risk by conducting a careful title search to identify defects”
• “Title insurance is retrospective; it protects the insured from defects in title that arose prior to the effective date of the policy.”
• “title insurance differs from other forms of property and liability insurance in that it only covers losses from defects in title and lien priority (and similar title-related risks), usually requires only a one-time premium, and lasts for as long as the insured holds title”
