Person Signing Fraudulent Lien not Individually Liable

In Bruce Tansey Custom Carpentry, Inc. v. Goodman , 33 So.3d 70 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010), the Court held that the person signing a fraudulent lien could not be held individually liable.  The Court also noted that only one punitive damages award was proper where a contractor filed both a claim of lien and amended claim of lien.
