In real estate and construction law, a notice of cessation is a formal notice indicating that work on a construction project has stopped. It is used to document the date on which labor or construction activity ceased.
The filing or recording of a notice of cessation can affect legal deadlines, particularly those related to mechanics’ liens and other construction related claims. By establishing a clear end date for work, the notice helps determine the time period within which certain rights or remedies must be exercised.
