Bradley Fisher and Joseph Barnett Win Summary Judgment

The District Court in Scott County recently granted Summary Judgment in favor of our client, a construction company.  The Plaintiff alleged that the construction company, a corporation formerly owned by the Plaintiff, constructed his home with various defects and sued to recover damages under the legal theories of breach of contract, negligence, and breach of statutory warranties.   However, the Judge agreed with our arguments and concluded that the construction company was not the general contractor for the project when the Plaintiff was the only person responsible for selecting and supervising subcontractors, designing the home, and where there was no reliable evidence of a contract between the Plaintiff and the construction company.  The Court dismissed all claims against the construction company.
