The plaintiffs purchased a house and later discovered extensive mold.
They sued the vendors and the home inspector, Bestcheck Inspection Services and its principal, Raymond Lecours, alleging negligence and negligent misrepresentation.
The home inspector defendants brought a motion for summary judgment, arguing they conducted the inspection according to the applicable standard of care and that the plaintiffs did not reasonably rely on any alleged misrepresentations.
The court granted summary judgment, dismissing the claims against the home inspector defendants, finding no breach of the standard of care and no reasonable reliance by the plaintiffs.
