JUDICIAL DECISIONS Applicability. - In a suit by a carpet manufacturer against a mill for breach of contract, the trial court properly granted the manufacturer’s motion in limine to prevent the mill from complaining that it had a laundryman’s lien on unused yarn and backing under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-450.

The trial court was authorized to find that tufting the yarn was an initial manufacturing stage and that in tufting the yarn, the mill was not making alterations to carpet. Beaulieu Group, LLC v. S&S Mills, Inc., 292 Ga. App. 455, 664 S.E.2d 816, 2008 Ga. App. LEXIS 792 (2008).
