The following excerpt is from Contractors Labor Pool, Inc. v. Westway Contractors, Inc., 53 Cal.App.4th 152, 61 Cal.Rptr.2d 715 (Cal. App. 1997):
3 Former Code of Civil Procedure section 1183 (Stats.1929, ch. 869, 1, pp. 1924-1927), which was repealed in 1951 (Stats.1951, ch. 1159, 4, p. 2958), set forth a list of eligible mechanics' lien claimants that was substantially identical to the list now found in section 3110. There have been some deletions from and additions to the list since 1951, but the language which impacts our decision in this case--"all persons and laborers of every class performing labor upon or bestowing skill or other necessary services on [a work of improvement]"--remains identical in all substantive respects to the language construed in Myers v. Alta Constr. Co., supra.
