You also get an inspection to get more leverage for negotiation. We haven't ruled out walking away but we are trying to see if this can work.

We would prefer to not walk away, that's why I'm trying to figure this out. I'm just trying to understand if turning on the water would be considered as the buyer/buyer's agent/contractor causing damage to the property during an inspection if the leak turns out to be a problem, or if that...

I'm assuming that reading the addendum would be enough. http://bright-media.brightmls.com/bright/documents/0000/3020/5374/7342/302053747342_6RUVeDgLofYs2qOL.pdf?1568726346000

My family is in the middle of buying a house as-is in Baltimore County Maryland. The house has been vacant for 2 or 3 years and has had the water turned off for that time. The seller's agent is saying that we have to pay a plumber to come in and turn the water on for inspection even though the...

I'm not sure why you're responding as if there's much ambiguity on the subject. The court explained what the misreading was and cited the relevant part of the brief. Whether it was a misunderstanding of what the court had previously said or if it was somehow otherwise misapplied makes little...

The case is well past the point of appeal. How valid the Defries findings were is immaterial to this conversation. This isn't based on concerns with winning or conspiracy theories. As I explained in the last post, this thread was originally about the difference between what the COA said they...

I believe that Defries has a bearing on the case because the 2008 panel ordered the district court to consider the bad faith evidence in light of Defries (see items 6 and 7 from the list above.) I originally posted about Defries because it's the only time the 2018 panel cites one of the...

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. The 2008 panel said he had presented as much evidence as one could hope for. They found that short of confession, he had the best case a 501 plaintiff could have. The 2018 panel ends their decision by finding he had never provided any evidence...

Thanks for the reply Tax Counsel. I probably should have clarified that this is not my case per se. This lawsuit started when I was four and had continued for essentially my whole life. The case played a large role in my house growing up so I feel a need to understand how things concluded...

Here's the decision: https://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/2A34A9F8D5206B97852582CD0052AD9E/$file/17-7024-1740912.pdf

I'm trying to understand a decision from the Court of Appeals for the DC circuit. At one point during the decision the court finds that “Appellant misreads Defries, arguing that a union officer necessarily breaches his fiduciary duty if he acts in bad faith notwithstanding his good-faith...
