Mr. James recently obtained summary judgment on behalf of a termite company in a case involving allegations of deficient treatment and/or inspections.  Specifically, the Plaintiffs alleged that the termite company prepared a fraudulent Wood Infestation Inspection Report (“WIIR”) and claimed that the Plaintiffs relied upon that document when purchasing a home in Central Alabama.  Mr. James successfully argued that the treatment work had been performed for a prior customer and that disclosures contained within the WIIR placed the Plaintiffs on notice of the potential for hidden termite damage.  The order granting summary judgment ended two years of litigation in favor of Mr. James’ client.
