What's hot in EIFS litigation

July 2001
By Dan Bryson

I am often asked how many Courts have issued written opinions pertaining specifically to EIFS cases. I decided to run a search and came up with 53 cases which are listed below, from 17 states! I have been involved in many of the cases and should point out that in Virginia that opinions of the Circuit Court judges are often published, which is not the case in most states. With this many decisions being written specifically on EIFS, it is my hope that judges across the country will bring some consistency to their rulings by considering the opinions from other states. To often I think judges are unwilling to seriously consider opinions from other jurisdictions. We are working on creating a link to this website which will allow easy access and printing of these decisions.
