The applicants appealed a decision by Tarion Warranty Corporation denying their new home warranty claims for floor defects.

Tarion denied the claims because they were submitted after the expiry of the first-year warranty period.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicants failed to submit their 30-day and first-year warranty forms within the required timeframes.

Furthermore, the Tribunal accepted expert engineering evidence that the builder had satisfactorily repaired a related Ontario Building Code violation.

The appeal was dismissed and Tarion was directed to deny the warranty claim.
