KOBAYASHI, Justice.

This is an appeal by G.J. Hawaii, Ltd. (appellant) from a judgment of the trial court denying appellant's application for a mechanic's and materialman's lien. The trial court held, as a matter of law, that appellant, having "failed to meet the burden of showing that it has a contractor's license under Chapter 444", Hawaii Revised Statutes, is not entitled to a mechanic's and materialman's lien.

We reverse.
