BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Florida electrical contractor has filed a Palm Beach County lawsuit seeking to foreclose a construction lien and recover more than $130,000 it alleges remains unpaid on a Boca West Country Club project.
SPORTSLIGHTER ELECTRIC, INC. v. BOCA WEST COUNTRY CLUB, INC. is a newly filed civil complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (Case No. 502026CA000238XXXAMB; Division AE), filed Jan. 7, 2026.
In the complaint, Sportslighter Electric, Inc., a Florida corporation, alleges Boca West Country Club, Inc. owns real property at 20371 Country Club Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida 33484, where the project at issue was performed. The lawsuit seeks foreclosure of a construction lien and related relief, and also pleads an unjust enrichment claim in the alternative. All allegations are claims by the plaintiff and have not been proven in court.
According to the filing, Boca West Country Club and T & G Corporation d/b/a T & G Constructors (identified as “T&G”) entered into a prime contract for a project described as “2P00007 - Boca West Country Club – Civil, Landscape, & Hardscape Work.” Sportslighter alleges it entered into a written subcontract with T&G on or about May 29, 2022 to perform site electric and lighting work for an original contract value of $635,700. The complaint further alleges change orders totaling $526,391.65 were issued, bringing the revised contract amount to $1,162,091.65.
Sportslighter alleges that, as of the time it recorded its lien, T&G had paid $1,025,894.78, leaving an unpaid balance of $136,196.87. The complaint breaks that figure down as including retainage of $58,104.58 and “pay application 18” in the amount of $78,092.29. Sportslighter further alleges T&G later issued an additional payment of $5,782.72 on or about Nov. 7, 2025, and that at the time the complaint was filed, the “current unpaid balance” was $130,414.15.
Count I asserts foreclosure of a construction lien under Chapter 713, Florida Statutes. Sportslighter alleges it first furnished labor, services, or materials on Aug. 5, 2022, and last furnished labor, services, or materials on Oct. 16, 2024. The complaint alleges Sportslighter served a Notice to Owner to Boca West Country Club on Aug. 20, 2022 via U.S. certified mail.
Sportslighter alleges it recorded a Claim of Lien against the Boca Raton property on Jan. 9, 2025, in Official Records Book 35485, Page 625, in the public records of Palm Beach County, in the amount of $136,026.87. It further alleges it served a copy of the lien on Boca West Country Club on Jan. 10, 2025, within 15 days of recording. The complaint also alleges Sportslighter made a written demand under section 713.16(5), Florida Statutes, for a sworn statement of contract, payments, and completion costs, and that Boca West Country Club did not timely respond.
The complaint alleges Sportslighter executed a Partial Satisfaction of Claim of Lien corresponding to the Nov. 7, 2025 payment, recorded Nov. 10, 2025 in Official Records Book 36120, Page 1886. After that partial satisfaction, Sportslighter alleges the lien “presently totals” $130,244.67, and it seeks a judgment adjudicating the amount due, declaring the lien valid, foreclosing the defendant’s interest, ordering a judicial sale, entering any deficiency judgment, and awarding attorneys’ fees, costs, and other relief.
Count II, pled in the alternative, asserts unjust enrichment in the event the lien enforcement claim is found infirm. Sportslighter alleges it furnished labor, services, and materials that improved the property, that Boca West Country Club was aware of and accepted the benefit, and that it would be inequitable for the defendant to retain that benefit without paying fair value. The complaint alleges unjust enrichment damages “of no less than $130,414.15,” plus interest and costs.
The plaintiff is represented by Moody & Graf, P.A. The complaint does not identify counsel for the defendant.
