Client Alert: Supreme Court of Ohio to Decide Whether Homebuilders Can Provide Express Written Warranty in Lieu of Implied Warranty of Good Workmanship

On February 2, 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio accepted for review the case of Paul Jones, et al. v. Centex Homes, Case No. 2010-1826. The central issue in this case is whether a homebuilder can expressly disclaim the implied warranty of good workmanship.
