The suit seeks 200 million dollars in damages from eight WCI homeowner associations throughout Florida for breach of fiduciary duty and negligence.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit alleges that executives of now bankrupt WCI knew of the existence of defective \u201cChinese Drywall\u201d in their homes as early as 2006. These same executives served on WCI homeowner association boards and appointed other WCI executives to these boards who had knowledge of this hazard. These executives, and the homeowner association boards they control, have never notified a single WCI resident about the dangerous drywall in their homes. The lawsuit alleges that their failure to notify or warn constitutes a breach of their fiduciary duties owed to the residents and constitutes negligent performance of their association board duties.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cChinese Drywall\u201d victims are alleging that had the WCI board members promptly warned the residents, the \u201cChinese Drywall\u201d victims would not have purchased their WCI homes, would not have improved the homes. They would have immediately removed their families from these homes and promptly brought legal claims against WCI while the billion dollar corporation was solvent.<br \/>\nThe lawsuit only seeks damages available through the associations\u2019 policies of insurance, which were originally purchased by the builder, WCI. Consequently, WCI association homeowners should not anticipate increased assessments as a result of the suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boca Raton, FL \u2013 The law firm of Kogan &amp;
