Court of Appeals is going to give homeowners more leverage when dealing with home inspectors who attempt to shield themselves from liability using a pre-inspection contract.

Les Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Mr. Kass seems to be both a capable lawyer and writer. The key word in the piece is "gross". No pre-inspection agreement can or will protect you in that event. Note that the high court returned it to the trial judge for that determination and did not rule on anything else.

kurt Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 There is some fairness to this interpretation. I'm currently working w/a homeowner who got royally screwed by a very lousy home inspection, and the inspector beat the rap for the price of the inspection. I mean, it (the inspection) was really, really lousy; I could see some of the stuff as I drove up. Creeps shouldn't be able to get away w/this.
