Well his major issue is that he was seeking a fraud claim and if he recovered, would be granted attorney's fees aka money that he is charging himself and possible punitive damages.

But I wrote a brief in a hearing before the trial and based on my brief, the judge granted a our party's motion to exclude any cause of action except for negligence which we obviously defeated. It was a good thing.

I guess greed blinds people.

Rick, it was a single owner in a 23 unit condo conversion. His main issue was that he was trying to recover for damage in the common areas (walls roof plumbing etc.) Of course the judge shot him down, but not after we argued for days about it.

I am working on another Constr. Defect case in Vegas that involves a developer of some of the biggest planned communities there. It's an ENORMOUS case and I don't see it going away for a couple of years. There are MILLIONS riding on that one and that's just the settlement effort. We'll see what the case develops into.
