Groswith and Cord Secure Summary Judgement Win

Jennafer Groswith (Partner-Dallas) and Stephen Cord (Associate-Dallas) secured a summary judgment win for their roofing client in a multiparty commercial construction defect case. The Plaintiffs alleged that their surgery center and medical buildings were unusable as a result of a myriad of construction defects which included the TPO membrane roof. Plaintiffs claimed the roof on both buildings needed to be replaced and the General Contractor claimed over $1M in damages was owed by their roofing client. They moved for summary judgment based on the complete lack of evidence that their client violated the standard of care or that the roof was causing any damage. At the last minute, opposing counsel filed a motion to continue the hearing to try to buy more time to drum up evidence. The Court correctly denied opposing counsel’s motion to continue and granted their No Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment.
