Plaintiff purchased a Pioneer Square condominium from our client and after moving in experienced water intrusion. Plaintiff brought claims for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract based on the Form 17 Disclosure and other real estate documents. Plaintiff argued that our client's volunteer position on the condominium’s board of directors imputed additional knowledge of any and all defects in the building. At the conclusion of a three-week jury trial, Plaintiff asked for over $5 million in damages. The jury returned a defense verdict on all claims and the Court denied the Plaintiff's request for rescission of the contract. Judgment for attorney fees in favor of the client was entered.
