2011 California Code
Civil Code
DIVISION 3. OBLIGATIONS [1427 - 3272.9]
ARTICLE 7. Enforcement of Lien
Section 3152
Nothing contained in this title affects the right of a claimant to maintain a personal action to recover a debt against the person liable therefor either in a separate action or in the action to foreclose the lien, nor any right the claimant may have to the issuance of a writ of attachment or execution or to enforce a judgment by other means. In an application for a writ of attachment, the claimant shall refer to this section. A lien held by the claimant under this chapter does not affect the right to procure a writ of attachment. The judgment, if any, obtained by the claimant in a personal action, or personal judgment obtained in a mechanic s lien action, does not impair or merge a lien held by the claimant under this chapter, but any money collected on the judgment shall be credited on the amount of the lien.
(Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 497, Sec. 13. Operative July 1, 1983, by Sec. 185 of Ch. 497. Repealed as of July 1, 2012, by Stats. 2010, Ch. 697.)
