Class action talk is wishful thinking. Elaine, construction defect litigation is not class action. You are a named plaintiff. Educate yourself. Attorneys sue developers at their own expense and recover in settlement or trial, plus their fees. You get knowledge of your defects and maybe a down payment to fix something. TMC is not comparable in anyway except the owners are known - recorded with municipalities - and therefore not class actionable. You'd have to sue TMC at your upfront costs plus attorneys fees. And no, the AG is not going to share it's 3-year investigation with your lawyers.

Hi Jill, It sounds like you have quite a background in law. I wonder why the AG wouldn't share its findings of the investigation and isn't all or most of that public record? Other suits have been brought in the past and thrown out, but wouldn't the fact that the AG established fraud/bait and switch that involved 14,000 owners be class actionable?...I just don't know, but surprised to hear from you that it is not. Well, the beat goes on!
