The Court of Appeals affirmed in part, but found that the mechanic's lien related back to RV's first delivery of equipment and was superior to the Haselwoods' deed of trust. It also reversed an award of attorney fees to the Haselwoods. In an opinion by Justice Sanders and signed by four other Justices, the Court today upholds the Court of Appeals. Justices Stephens and Madsen concur, but would not foreclose RV's request for attorney fees. Chief Justice Alexander, joined by Justice Charles Johnson, dissents and would find RV's lien inferior to the Haselwoods' deed of trust. (briefs and argument)

 Torgerson v. One Lincoln Tower, LLC, No. 80623-3. The Court of Appeals is affirmed in a unanimous opinion by Justice Sanders. Three real estate agents, Michael Miller, Vicki Ringer, and Joanne Faye Torgerson, were seller's agents for condominiums in One Lincoln Tower, then under construction. Each also contracted to purchase a unit, and their contracts included a provision limiting their remedies for sellers' breach. After some delays in the project and a change of ownership, the seller did breach and the agents sued, asking the court to strike down the remedy-limiting provision. The trial court entered summary judgment for the seller, which was affirmed by the Court of Appeals and is affirmed here as well, with attorneys fees also awarded to the seller.
