CE: Maybe you should actually read the link from his site before you pontificate in the wrong direction.

Personally, I believe this to be one of the most dangerous lawsuits I have ever seen.
I mean, think about it. It tortious interference is established, this means that all inspections that result in a buyer walking away may be construed in the same light. I am not saying that this will definitely fly, be overturned on appeal, or is universally enforceable... but it exemplifies what is wrong with our legal system. Should the plaintiff fail to make his case, I sincerely believe that the inspector should be entitled to reimbursement of legal fees, three-fold... |

Interesting reading.
I have experienced a HI related lawsuit myself (shotgun suit/Motrtgage Fraud/AC). In my case (defended by E&O lawyers), first off my contract was ignored, then my report was ignored, and mostly my opinions of what was correct were ignored. I paid the deductable and settled. I have no idea what so ever how this will turn out, but will stay tuned. |

Next time you get the urge to disparage an inspector with more knowledge, experience ,and credentials than you, you might do your homework or keep your meandering synapses to yourself.
But I will say that I am impressed that you could dredge up and properly place into context a three-syllable word. |

I think it is sad. You might fart and stink the house up. Then be sued for that also. It was a very technical repot.

This not the first time a seller has sued an inspector. I suspect sign of times. Bad market. People stressed. Inspection findings kill deal. Gotta blame someone.
I often inspect a vacant house and have lock up responsibility. I have a predetermined property check out process. Last year I started video taping the check out on my small handheld camera. It takes me an average of 4.5 minutes to verify every room, door, stats and kit. Terabyte drives are cheap and I backup to mozy as well. I know its paranoid but it does assure I do a proper shut down. Looking at it from the other side, one should be careful about their opinions. You can kill a deal by being wrong. Lately I find myself doing more of "Stain seen on ceiling. I do not know if it inactive or the cause." In other words I find myself saying more and more "I do not know". Now that TX SoP have been in place for 6 months I find my reports taking a lot longer. Its all I can do in a 12 to 14 hour day to do 2 homes 30 years old. In 1986 I did 4 a day. Some say "you made less money" but not really if you factor in inflation. Over regulation has really affected my business. |

If I had a beef with your boss he would be the first to know. My contention was (and so remains) with his cheesy advertising on his website. That contention was mentioned in a reply to someone else's message; not yours. Once INACHI appoints you to oversee this site, let me know and I will cancel my membership. |

RM: Thank you for your sage advice. I am no stranger to these sorts of forums and have developed that habit, of which I am rather fond, if you do not mind.
