I would oppose it on the basis that it is an unwarranted incursion into the common law.

Folks: Please see the attached. I am soliciting comments from CLC members before formulating a response to the higher-ups with the RPPTL section. Due to the time-sensitive nature of these things, I will only be able to include responses received by COB today.

Thanks,
Reese

Reese, I am not sure if I sent this one to you previously. Does the CLC have a position on SB 1196 (attached), as introduced by Senator Bennett?  This is the homebuilders legislative attempt to reverse the Maronda Homes decision, and also narrows the common law doctrine in Gable v. Silver.  The Condominium and Planned Development and the Real Property Litigation committees have both advised that they are opposed to the proposal. Pete is meeting tomorrow with the homebuilders representatives (one of whom is Chris Dudley, Freds son, for purposes of disclosure) to discuss the proposal. We do not have a Section position at this point in time, but want to consider one and need to know the CLCs thoughts. Please advise at your earliest possible convenience, and sorry for the rush. Regards, Rob
