Christopher Martin Secures Summary Judgment in Construction Defect Matter

Morrison Mahoney Partner Christopher Martin secured a summary judgment in a large community-wide construction defect matter on behalf of an international windows and doors distributor. The argument was twofold: first, the windows and doors were the subject of a federal court multi-district litigation judgment which involved the same developer in the present matter and claims by that developer were estopped by res judicata; next, the claims did not meet the elements required by the Product Liability Act, nor was any express warranty applicable. Summary judgment was granted and all claims by the multiple parties in the suit against our client were dismissed with prejudice.
