defects as they become known to the claimant. <b>The court shall allow the action to proceed to trial only as to alleged construction defects that were noticed and for which the claimant has complied with this chapter and as to construction defects reasonably

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Fla. Stat. s. 558.004(12) expressly states that the statute was not intended to create any new defenses unless expressly stated therein. If the statute was intended to create a process that upon failure of the
claimant to comply with it, the claimant would suffer the entire loss of its cause of action, then I would expect that intent to be clearly reflected in the terms of Ch. 558. While Ch. 558 does require an Owner to provide pre-suit notice of a construction
defect claim, it does not expressly state that non-compliance results in the loss of the Owner’s cause of action. In fact, by recognizing that an Owner may sue first without giving the notice and providing that IF that happens the remedy is a STAY of the lawsuit
for 60 days, I would say that Ch. 558 pretty plainly does not support the defense of dismissal with prejudice of the Owner’s claim for failure to comply with the notice requirements. Lastly, rightly or wrongly, the notice provisions of Ch. 558 are tied to
commencement of a lawsuit and not commencement of repairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
