[CLC-Discussion] 553.84 damages

[RPPTL CLC-Discussion]

I think it's important to give weight to the part of the hypothetical
involving the Florida Building Code's provisions having "the force of
law."  Because violations of the FBC are *required to be fixed*, then the
applicable measure of damages must be whatever the current cost of
correction is.

In that specific scenario, a diminution of value measure of damages simply
would not be a reasonable application of the law, or an
effective/meaningful remedy, in my opinion.
