Construction

Important contractual rights and remedies can be lost, hard-won statutory protections waived, and serious liabilities incurred—all through ignorance of the law. This newsletter is designed to give you, in 60 seconds, some more insight into legal problems faced by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers in the construction industry to help you avoid these adverse outcomes.

In our Summer 2022 edition, we examine whether a subcontractor is liable for defective materials under a warranty provision where the defects were inherent in the very product specified in the contract documents, as seen in Lighting Retrofit International, LLC v. Constellation NewEnergy, Inc.,  No. 19-CV-02751-SAG, 2022 WL 541156 (D. Md. Feb. 23, 2022). Click the link above to download a PDF of the full 60 Second Construction Law Journal – Summer 2022.
