Charlie,
Great post and very useful. Do you have any reference for the Supreme Courts decision – parties names or case number?
I would remind all that they should pay specific attention to the BGs offered by the developer’s bank particularly if they are to pay or have paid further sums – in addition to their deposit – during the build out period of the property. With each additional payment made the BG should be revised – and updated – to reflect to total payment.
Please also ensure that either you or your lawyer has on file fully signed and dated BG’s reflecting your total payments made. In the event of a dispute with your developer you’ll have the devil’s own job getting original BG’s from the developer.
Good luck,
Mark
