Home Builders Fearful Of
Arizona
'
Lemon Law
'
For Buyers
Proposition 201, a so-called "lemon law" for home buyers... Supporters say the initiative protects buyers from sloppy construction and gives them recourse to remedy defects. The proposal, introduced and supported by unions and some community advocacy groups, provides "much-needed protection for people who buy new homes," said
Linda Brown
, executive director of the Arizona Advocacy Network Foundation, a supporter. "There
'
s been very little oversight or checks for the home building industry because it
'
s been the economic engine for the state...It
'
s been the Wild West for them." Prop 201 |

Comment on Article by Dick Weekley on Tort Reform - Homebuilders worse
I have never seen a piece of garbage in print as bad as "The cost of crooked lawyers" Outlook article. I used to be a defense attorney and worked at the most prominent homebuilder defense firm in Texas, and homebuilders rip off consumers more than any trial lawyer in history. There were times when builders built a horrible house with a bad foundation and then they'd claim "Texas soils shift," when it was actually a badly poured foundation. As the walls of the house would crack and fall, the homeowners' lives in ruin because their dream home was destroyed, the attorneys I worked with and the builders would laugh, knowing that Texas law allows a homeowner no real recourse. Since 1989, when a plaintiff's attorney went on 60 Minutes and bragged he had the Texas Supreme Court bought and paid for, there has been nearly 20 years of "tort reform" lobbyists in Texas. While the targets are trial attorneys over and over again, when has the Chronicle ever really done serious front-page journalism on the real people harmed, the people who are injured? Aaron A. Herbert, attorney Dallas |

A dozen rulings in the last year have been a boon to corporations by making it harder to sue them or limiting lawsuit damages
The Bush administration and corporate lobbyists long have sought sweeping tort reform to limit lawsuits and massive jury awards without much success. But in the last year, they quietly have been winning much of what theyve wanted on a case-by-case basis in the Supreme Court. With a week to go in their term, the justices have handed down a dozen rulings that sharply limit the damages that can be won in lawsuits or make it harder to sue corporations. |
