Subject: NOT best for plaintiffs, just best for builder

The plaintiffs already won this case and to have to try 200 cases again seperately essentially means the homeowners won't be able to get lawyers because, individually, the cases won't be worth enough to interest law firms. They won and a judge wiped out that victory, which highly favors a builder who built at least these 200 homes wrong. This is a travesty of justice, and is all too much a reflection of what kind of "justice" most homeowners can expect when cheated by a home builder. It is a total MYTH that homeowners file frivolous construction defect suits and win huge awards. This kind of outcome is more like reality where even winners go home empty handed, or worse.
