Supreme Court-No Arbitration for Condo Construction Defects |

HOAs claim victory in arbitration case
The Colorado Supreme Court last month quietly let stand a Court of Appeals decision that homeowner associations cannot be forced into arbitration by builders and general contractors. It's a huge victory for homeowner associations in Colorado, said Christopher Rhody, the attorney representing the Eagle Ridge Condominium Association in a lawsuit over construction defects."... The association wanted to tell their story to a jury," Rhody said. "A jury of 12 is often a fairer form to hear their side than in front of a single arbitrator, who is usually chosen by the builder." In addition, he argued it is "inherently unfair for builders to shield themselves from liability for shoddy construction before the houses are even built." He said the Court of Appeals' decision, which the Supreme Court let stand, "holds home builders responsible for their actions." |

Builders leave Better Business Bureau
Some builders are dropping their membership in the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Houston because they don't want to use the alternative dispute resolution process, a process they agreed to as terms of their membership. Instead, they'd rather disputes go through the American Arbitration Association or the Texas Residential Construction Commission...
(Toy Wood, CEO of the Greater Houston Builders Association) "And although our reasons for creating the TRCC and the various associated processes were very worthy, we were creating another bureaucracy," she wrote. "While we maintain control of the commission, we must be just as vigilant with the TRCC as we are with any other agency or commission." |

L.A. jury learns how Austin works
NOBODY is saying state Rep. Joe Nixon improperly pressured Farmers Insurance Group two years ago to pay him more than he had coming in a settlement over severe mold damage to his home... After a two-week trial, the jury determined that the insurance giant had wrongfully terminated Isabelle Arnold, national mold manager, for objecting to paying Nixon more than he had coming to him...Nixon was a friend to all insurance companies. He was a leader in "tort reform" legislation designed to lower jury awards. |

Mold suit ends in failure
The rules in Texas prevent the type of settlement reached in California from happening here. The Dentlers at the most would have been entitled to $250,000 in pain and suffering costs and actual costs. Their last petition was actually for $750,000, which included $110,000 for contents, $240,000 to rebuild the house, $70,000 to replace losses from paying two mortgages at once because the family moved due to mold damage and $330,000 for attorney fees. Insurance companies eventually paid $70,000 for damages, which was a quarter of what was requested, and $7,000 of that went to a public adjuster, Peggy Dentler said.
