Summary Judgment Granted in Highly Contested Construction Defect Case

We were granted summary judgment in a $1.3 million construction defect subrogation case involving allegedly improperly sealed roof openings. The subcontractor contested its liability on the theory that our client chose the sealing method, and that the contract itself was deficient. Our motion, that was eventually granted, successfully argued that the contract language met the standard set in Pennsylvania’s Perry-Ruzzi rule.
