Ray Meyer Weighs in as California Builders and Contractors Win Big Victory in Supreme Court

California builders and contractors win a huge victory in the California Supreme Court’s long awaited McMillin v. Superior Court (Van Tassell) case and builders should be able to force SB800 pre-litigation procedures.  In short, the SB800 Right to Repair scheme is the exclusive remedy unless there is some exception, such as a breach of written contract or express warranty claim or the like.  The Supreme Court went further and made it clear the pre-litigation procedures Right to Repair SB800 apply even when a complaint is “creatively pled” and contains both common law and contract based causes of action which all deal with the same set of faulty conditions.
