<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We know two things about breach of contract damages under
<i>Grossman Holdings</i>: (1) that they are to be measured as of the time of the breach (<i>Jeremy Stewart Constr., Inc. v. Matthews</i>, 324 So. 3d 41 (Fla. 1st DCA 2021)) – with interest accruing since that time; and (2) that they are limited to diminution
in value if the cost to correct would be “unreasonable economic waste.” --- BUT – what about damages under 553.84? Since the building code has the force of law, and is for the purposes of life safety, etc., wouldn’t damages for a 553.84 claim have
<i>neither</i> of those constraints? <i>I.e.</i> wouldn’t they, for public policy reasons, be measured by the
<b><i>current</i></b> cost to correct and not be limited by the economic waste constraint because the law requires their correction?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
