Condo builder sued for hidden defect

[Stephen Lagueux]

As of june 11, 72 suits had been filed against a condo builder in Longueuil near Montreal. The claimants state that the chimneys from the supplemental heating system were not up to code and are filing against the builder for hidden defect and are asking $5000 each for the cost of repair. As for as the builder, he is questionning the recevability of those suits making the distinction between hidden defect and code regulation back when they were built.
