A lien claimant may bring suit to enforce a lien that attaches under the provisions of this article in any court of competent jurisdiction in the county where the commercial real estate is located. The lien claimant shall begin proceedings within one (1) year after filing the notice of lien, and failure to begin proceedings within the one (1) year shall extinguish the lien. If a claim is based upon an option to acquire an interest in commercial real estate, the lien claimant shall begin proceedings within one (1) year of the option to purchase being exercised. A claim for the same lien extinguished under this section may not be asserted in any later proceeding. A lender shall not be made a party to any suit to enforce a lien under this article unless the lender has willfully caused the nonpayment of the compensation giving rise to the lien.
