March 9, 1999 - La Mirada, Calif. - The Glen
at Hillsborough Association, represented by The Miller Law
Firm in Newport Beach, recovered $5 million for construction
defects in a 282-unit residential condominium complex located
in La Mirada.
The Glen at Hillsborough Association has bee plagued by extreme
winter weather, including last year's EI Nino driven storms
resulting in roof and deck leaks and water intrusion through
windows. The association claimed the leaks were caused by
construction defects due to architectural deficiencies and
code violations.
The settlement was finalized on Tuesday, March 9, 1999, at
the Orange County Superior Court before Judge Robert E. Thomas.
The settlement concluded a case originally filed on June 2,
1997 against La Mirada Hills Development Company, and various
subcontractors. The builder and ft insurance carriers, together
with the subcontractors and their insurance carriers, contributed
to the settlement.
"The board of directors is very excited that this litigation
is behind us so that we can now move forward to make the necessary
repairs to our homes," said Connie Eason, President of
the association's board of directors since the problems began.
The board of directors of the association will soon begin
the process of allocating funds for the repairs.
"We are extremely pleased to reach a fair settlement
ending the inconvenience that the homeowners were subjected
to over the past months, including El Nino," says construction
defect attorney Thomas E. Miller.
Since 1981, Thomas E. Miller has collected more than $300
million in construction defects awards on behalf of California
homeowner associations-~ To reach The Miller Law Firm In Newport
