Description

This appeal arises from the trial court's dismissal of the amended complaint of plaintiff Steve Verchinski, d/b/a Solar Electric Company of New Mexico (Verchinski), against defendants Richard and Jane Klein (Kleins) for damages from a breach of contract and for foreclosure of a materialmen's lien. Kleins filed an answer affirmatively pleading that Verchinski was barred from recovering under the contract and under the materialmen's lien because he did not have a contractor's license as required under the provisions of the New Mexico Construction Industries Licensing Act (the Act), NMSA 1978, Sections 60-13-1 to -58 (Repl. Pamp. 1984). On April 15, 16, and 17, the trial court heard evidence on whether Verchinski was acting as a contractor when he entered into an agreement with the Kleins to provide three photovoltaic irrigation systems. At the conclusion of the hearings, Kleins filed a motion for dismissal of this suit. The trial court granted the motion and dismissed Verchinski's complaint with prejudice. We reverse.
