Del Webb Communities Inc.
This is a settlement for the Defective Product lawsuit.
Carson City, NV: (Aug-07-07) A class action lawsuit was filed against Del Webb Communities Inc., the developer of Sun City Summerlin, after more than 6,500 homeowners complained that the building had construction defects. An investigation revealed that the homes had been built with defective copper plumbing lines, leading to the property damage lawsuit.
To resolve the class action suit, Del Webb repaired more than 600 homes and paid $21.5 million to the more than 6,500 class members, including those whose homes were not repaired. Apart from that, the court allowed a couple, Irwin and Edith Marcuse, to continue a separate suit against Del Webb Communities Inc. When the Marcuses returned from a vacation in May 2003, they found their home flooded. Del Webb paid to repair the defective plumbing, but did not compensate the Marcuses for the full damage. The Marcuses tried to resolve their damage claim within the class action suit but were unable, prompting them to file the separate lawsuit. [LAS VEGAS SUN: DEFECTIVE PLUMBING]
