Guidroz v. Pelham
Following a bench trial in this case involving a real estate transaction, buyers/plaintiffs appeal from a judgment entered in favor of the seller, defendant. Plaintiffs contend a statutory requirement for the seller to provide a transfer disclosure statement (including disclosure of flooding problems) cannot be waived, and therefore the trial court erred in concluding plaintiffs had waived the right to a transfer disclosure statement. Court shall conclude that, even assuming for the sake of argument that the section 1102 statement cannot be waived, plaintiffs fail to show prejudicial error warranting reversal of the judgment, because they did not meet their burden of proof on the element of damages.
Plaintiffs also complain of the trial court's comment that they have a problem with standing (related to their creation and later dissolution of a limited liability corporation). Court conclude the standing issue is moot.
Accordingly, court affirm the judgment.
