I feel sorry for the plaintiff because that inspector did fail to go the extra mile and do the job properly. Which is why the inspector has a contract that basically says I cannot be held accountable for virtually everything, but if I do F up I am only going to pay a max of $320. What an immoral contract, but still legal, and the plaintiff signed it. The worst, however, is the seller of the house. If the water pipe is a length of glorified garden hose, I would hate to think whatever other sub-standard things are hidden in that house. Plumbing can just get things wet, but substandard electrical wiring can burn a house down.
That's an irrigation flex pipe cpvc fitting. That should never be used for standing pressure. All standing pressure should be rigid schedule 40 or better.
I feel really bad for the plaintiff, the defendant tried to say in the beginning that those particular pipes weren't visible basically implying that they didn't go under the crawl space but then as the judge kept talking to him he shows pictures that show the exact opposite their inspectors did go under the house whether it was with a extended camera or they actually crawled under there they should have seen those pipes, had the plaintiff called them back out and given them a chance to rectify the problem and they still couldn't rectify the problem he would have gotten his money back, that's why even though it might take a couple of minutes or longer to read an extremely long contract you need to read everything that you're signing! After watching these judge shows for many many years I am extremely cautious when signing anything and thoroughly read everything before signing, the plaintiff seems like somebody who would have read the entire contract I'm wondering if maybe he just forgot.
I agree. But the problem is that NO home inspection, no matter how thorough, is going to catch EVERY little potential problem in a home; the point is to make the prospective buyer aware of the MAJOR issues. If every home buyer can come after their inspector for the TOTAL cost of repair for EVERYTHING an inspector missed or didn't emphasize the severity of MONTHS later (instead of notifying the inspection company within 10 days and giving them a chance to cure it, as the contract stipulates) can you imagine the precedent that would set? There would be no home inspectors anymore (or it would cost > $10K to get an inspection!) Furthermore, the measure of the plaintiff's damages ISN'T the cost of repair; it's the amount he would've negotiated off the purchase price if he had that information in the inspector's report (which could be NOTHING, depending on the seller and any other offers). In any event, it isn't quantifiable.
I like Judge Millian but she gets things so wrong, pretty often. Judge Judy is so much more thorough - where I find Judge Milian is more interested in going thru litigants cell phones and being nosey.
I have had a similar problem with a building inspection. When I talked with the inspector during the inspection, he didn't seem to know basic building methods. In his report I already knew of of obvious problems he missed, some of them could be clearly seen in his photo's? Many of these so called inspections are a scam and contracts that have so many total liability avoidance clauses should not be legal. Ordinary people cannot be expected to read long detailed legalize contracts and courts should know this. It is not really a contract if I say I will do something in the first page and then pages later say I wont.
I disagree with the judge. That contract sounded so sketchy, and if I paid someone to inspect my house - I don’t care how many things they got right - if they cost me $3500 for something they missed - they should pay it. 100% period.
If you don't agree with the terms of the contract, then go on to a different supplier whose contract you're okay with, rather than signing the contract. You don't get to disagree with the contract, later, as this guy is trying to do. When you say "I disagree with the judge", you're saying the judge should ignore the contract, which generally requires some form of deceit. Absent that, the judge follows the law, which in this case, is the contract.
@@newsflash7609 I take it you’re not familiar with the court of law. The judge can find exemption with whatever they so please, and she has voided contracts hundreds of times on this show - so consistency in the courtroom is mandatory
I think everyone AND the judge are missing the main point, it clearly states in the report that there was a leak under the bathroom, it doesn't matter what sort of plastic piping was leaking, the leak already existed, so the buyer knew then that there was a problem and he bought as is and so he had to repair a leak he knew about, end of case...
People in Florida need to find out what company this is and definitely not.use them. I find it interesting that the owner didn't want to use his company's name! It would have been free advertising for him, just not the kind of advertising he wanted.. This company definitely failed to do their job correctly!
Audience member immediately to the right side of the plaintiff has to be a professional audience member or a staff member filling in an empty seat. I've seen him in over 39 episodes in the background. I hope he gets paid well :)
I've always believed they must hire actors to fill the seats. That guy in particular is a regular! As a aside, I love your channel! I've wanted to start knitting left-handed for a while but figuring out the increases and decrease and how to mirror everything was a little beyond me. Now I've found a great resource so I can start using my dominant hand to knit!
NO HE IS NOT OFF THE HOOK. I BOUGHT MY HOME THEY WENT IN THE CRAW SPACE AND LOOKED AROUND NO STONE WENT UNTURNED, HE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE HE MADE !!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Judge Marilyn but sometimes she annoys me. I don’t get why she was rushing the plaintiff and getting irritated with him when he’s clearly older, nervous, and it’s not filmed live and can be edited. She gets hostile with the wrong people a lot of the time
I agree! He’s a jerk and his company dropped the ball but the contract saved his bacon. The inspection company clearly missed a major problem but the contract was written so as to absolve them of any fault short of intentionally burning the house down. I feel badly for the plaintiff. Morally, he’s right but legally he loses.
I don't think that was the case here at all, the defendants inspectors truly did miss seeing those pipes, those particular pipes that they missed should not be used under that type of pressure, so rather than just having him fix those particular pipes they suggested he replaced all the plumbing which cost him more money than was needed I think he just wants the money that he put out for no reason because of their mistake, unfortunately he signed a contract that says he has to give them notice within 10 days to come back and rectify the problem had he done that and they still couldn't rectify the problem it would be a slam dunk and he would get his money back, I truly feel bad for the plaintiff he was screwed.
The judge is WRONG. The water was leaking....what is homeowners to do? Fix it now or wait until the inspection company comes back out? That inspection company is useless.
Only way I can see this guy (plaintiff) getting this over the top upset about this is more than likely because he's going to rent the place out, typically there's extremely strict codes they have to go by with a rental house, sometimes crazy unrealistic codes. He probably can't rent the place out with that kind of piping & is looking to recoup money for the repair he had to do in order to get the place up to code. He's old, he's probably the landlord & couldn't get the place up to code, period end of story.
Judges do that though. My daughter went to court a few days ago, custody hearing, and the judge was getting pissed at my daughter's ex husband. Judges are humans too and it's hard to hide your emotions 24/7. And no you can not always tell a person's breeding. That's a ridiculous comment.

most new homes are built with cheap materials, might be uneventful for the first few years but that's about all you'll get out of it before the problems start. Just big gigantic tinderboxes, that's all they are anymore, any fireman will tell you this.
What a very professional court case. They all should be like this but unfortunately people have no class anymore.
It’s called having a stable two parent home. A loving atmosphere and accessibility to a quality education.
Exactly back when it was normal to be a quality person.
Where’s the fun in that tho

Then don't sign the contract. Why would you feel sorry for someone that didn't read the contract?
If he did nothing for 5 months, it wasn't all that bad.
"i didn't contact him because i was getting settled in the house" smh
That's an irrigation flex pipe cpvc fitting. That should never be used for standing pressure. All standing pressure should be rigid schedule 40 or better.
Thank you! It looked like a white garden hose! I wouldn't trust that for a second to hold constant water pressure under my house.
I feel bad for the plaintiff BUT READ YOUR CONTRACT, people !

They would have come out and likely replaced the pipe. He should have read the contract.

Idk about this one. My inspector noted about a possible plumbing issue. My inspector tested everything. He was very thorough.
Nice
cool
Didn't even have to watch this, inspectors always limit liability to the cost of the inspection.

I wanted to see the post trial interview
Dude had an iron clad contract
It could have been in his favor if only he would’ve notified the defendant in the amount of time listed on the contract.
If I had a water leak anywhere in/under my house it would’ve been top priority.
CPVC is not needed for the water line to the house. CPVC is for pipes INSIDE the house and for HOT water.
Very very true. I’d say something myself if I saw all my piping in cpvc.
Buying a house sucks.
This happened to me! Bought a house and 3 weeks later our home flooded due to old piping 30k in damages 💔
I think everyone AND the judge are missing the main point, it clearly states in the report that there was a leak under the bathroom, it doesn't matter what sort of plastic piping was leaking, the leak already existed, so the buyer knew then that there was a problem and he bought as is and so he had to repair a leak he knew about, end of case...

If you're such a good home inspection company. Why wouldn't you want your name mentioned?
I can see why he didn't want to use the name of the company

Defendant was a cad & I wouldn’t ever sign a contract with him. I do agree with the judge in her ruling, though.
Cad? How so?

I’m not happy that the guy hired an inspector which JM preaches then yells at him
?????
rewatch this case
He was bound by the contract he signed.
What?
I would hire legal representation before inking a final deal to make sure you don't trip all over yourself. Also, come up with questions to ask.
Does anyone agree that the woman behind with the blue scarf looks alot like Halle Berry
Judge you need glasses. I always get a kick out of you when you have to get your magnify glass to read a document.
she does have glasses , but sometimes she doesn't have them on
She wears glasses. Most of the time she wants to see details of pictures.

Nooooo plaintiff, you just want them to pay for new pipes! (didn't see the verdict yet, want to look if I'm smart 😙)

shut the water off & call the place & have them come out before repairing it, been done before, not that hard to do.
