Once a worker's lien ceases under s 15 of the Worker's Liens Act 1893 (SA), it ceases to exist and cannot be resurrected by amendment, substitution, or a further notice of lien under s 191(k) of the Real Property Act 1886 (SA). However, s 48(1) of the Limitation of Actions Act 1936 (SA) may be used to extend the 14-day enforcement period, which then enlivens the court's power under s 191(k) to permit lodgement of a further notice of lien. A notice of demand under s 10(2)(a) of the Worker's Liens Act may be signed by a duly authorised agent, including a solicitor, and need not be signed personally by the lienor.
