(b) If the contractor and the person claiming the lien disagree on the amount or validity of the lien, the court shall, on motion of the superintendent, contractor, or person claiming the lien, determine the matter.
(c) On failure to comply with this section, the superintendent is liable on the superintendent's bond for any amount improperly paid over to the contractor.
