§  39.  Lien wilfully exaggerated is void. In any action or proceeding  to enforce a mechanic's lien upon a private or public improvement or  in  which the validity of the lien is an issue, if the court shall find that  a  lienor has wilfully exaggerated the amount for which he claims a lien  as stated in his notice of lien, his lien shall be declared to  be  void  and  no recovery shall be had thereon. No such lienor shall have a right  to file any other or further lien  for  the  same  claim.  A  second  or  subsequent  lien  filed  in contravention of this section may be vacated  upon application to the court on two days' notice.
