Harold A. Saul and Kenneth “Jayme” Idle, of our Tampa and Orlando offices, respectively, successfully got their engineer client dropped in a large construction defect case. Before the engineer client was brought into the lawsuit, the case had been pending for nearly four years. The issue in this case was simple: the engineer never worked on the subject project. However, the homebuilder was adamant that the engineer was wrong and refused to drop the engineer from the case. Ultimately, Harold and Jayme were forced to serve a 21-day safe harbor letter on the homebuilder demanding it drop the claims against the engineer or face sanctions and further attached a motion for summary judgment and an affidavit from the engineer client’s president. The client was dropped from the lawsuit on the last day of the 21-day safe harbor period.
