SS · Prompt Payment and Construction Lien Act
Part 2 — Creation of Lien
13 Priority for wages
of 6 weeks' wages, over all claims on that portion of the amount
retained as required by section 18 or 23, as the case may be, to
which the contractor or subcontractor through whom the lien is
derived is entitled, and all such labourers rank without preference.
(2) Any device by an owner, contractor or subcontractor to defeat
the priority given by this Act to a labourer for the labourer's wages
is against public policy and void.
