We recently blogged about the importance of the the plain language of an association’s Declaration when following pre-litigation requirements to a construction defect claim. On March 18, 2019, the California Court of Appeal ruled that trial courts should not deny a homeowner of his right to submit a case to arbitration pursuant to the CC&Rs when there is a disagreement about whether the homeowner complied with the pre-litigation requirements. Instead, the dispute should be submitted to an arbitrator to make the final decision on whether the conditions precedent to arbitration have been satisfied. (See Baldwin v. Woodside 05s, LP, Case No. E06827 (Cal. Ct. App. March 18, 2019).) Read the article……………………..
