Avoid Misrepresentation Claims Through Contractual Exculpatory Clauses
As a part of its Homebuilder Series, Bilzin Sumberg has posted a free on-demand webinar that discusses protecting your company from misrepresentation claims through contractual exculpatory clauses.
This seminar discusses the case of Duggan, LLC v. Peacock Point, LLC, which held that under an “as is” contract containing disclaimers of warranty, a sophisticated purchaser is not entitled to recovery when the seller unintentionally misrepresented entitlements on the property.
Bilzin Sumberg litigation attorneys Mitch Widom and Wendy Polit are presenters in the webinar.
On its website, the firm says the webinar discusses the application of the Duggan decision to: i) the 2013 trial in Lennar v. Olivia’s Savannah, where the Second District Court of Appeals upheld the enforcement of the written contract against a purchaser who sued Lennar for negligent and fraudulent misrepresentations and ii) the potential benefits of the use of exculpatory clauses in purchase and sale contracts.
