In Court

This mornining I went to court on my Construction defect case. The Builder wanted to have my case dismissed. His premise is that the contract I signed is binding and as such limits the scope of my legal recourse. That the contract should stand as written.

However my attorney argued that the Contract the Builder had me sign tries to nullifies Nevada state law with regard to construction defect, and as such should be set aside. The aim of such contracts is to limit the liabilty a builder has towards the quality of his product. Since the item purchased isn't a toaster but the most costly thing most people purchase in their lives, a Builder should be held accountable for it's quality.

Needless to say I prevailed.... we got everything we wanted in spades..and I go to Arbitration in six months.
