Port Liberte Homeowners Association, Inc. v. Sordoni Construction Co.
2007 N.J. Super LEXIS 168, Docket No. A-2138-04T1 (App. Div. June 4, 2007)
The New Jersey Appellate Division was asked to consider whether a condominium and a homeowners association, not in existence at the time misrepresentations and fraudulent omissions were made to the developer of a condominium development, had standing to sue contractors or subcontractors who made such misrepresentations. Relying on the statutory scheme of the New Jersey Condominium Act, N.J.S.A. 46:8B-1 et seq., (“Condo Act”) and the Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act, N.J.S.A. 45:22A-21 et seq. (“PREDFDA”), the Appellate Division held that the associations had standing to sue.
