Bennett? This is the homebuilders’ legislative attempt to reverse the
<I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Maronda Homes</SPAN></I> decision, and also
narrows the common law doctrine in <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Gable v.
Silver</SPAN></I>. 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, Fred’s 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 CLC’s
thoughts. Please advise at your earliest possible convenience, and sorry
for the rush. Regards, Rob</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
