<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%">I have a situation where a client of mine, that suffered a loss from Hurricane Wilma, is having difficulty in a claim under its insurance policy in recovering the cost to repair/replace their
roof up to the current code. Apparently there was an error in the 2004 Code which went into effect on October 1, 2005 that omitted the 25% provision and the insurer is questioning whether they are obligated to pay for the new code upgrade even though the
County is requiring same. Wilma hit on October 25,2005 but the Code was not corrected until after that date.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:200%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
