Supreme Court Holds Landowners Liable Along With Builder For Deficiencies In Flat Constructions
In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court held that landowners are liable for construction deficiencies along with builders. The case involved complaints about substandard construction in residential flats. The Court ruled that liability for construction defects extends to both builders and landowners, emphasizing that landowners cannot evade responsibility merely because they are not directly involved in construction activities.
