Miller Desjardins v. JF Lajoie Construction Inc., 2025 ONSC 2522

Описание: A recent Ontario Superior Court decision underscores the legal duties of home inspectors and the risks when those duties are not met.

In Miller Desjardins v. J.F. Lajoie Construction Inc., the court found a home inspector negligent and liable for misrepresentation after failing to report significant, visible deficiencies in a property. The plaintiffs reasonably relied on the inspection report, and as a result, the inspector was ordered to pay damages for repair costs related to foundation, roof, and window defects.

Nick breaks down the court’s reasoning, the key elements of negligence and misrepresentation in the home inspection context, and the practical lessons for real estate lawyers advising clients on inspection risk and claims.
