The Construction Law Attorney Blog Chimes In On The Home Repair And Remodeling Act Debate
We’ve been writing with updates regarding the recent decisions by the differing appellate district’s in the state on whether causes of action can exist for payment when a contractor has failed to follow the requirements of the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act (815 ILCS 513/1 et seq.) The debate between the districts is fast becoming an issue that the Illinois Supreme Court should decide given the rampant differences in the manner non-compliance with the act is treated depending on which appellate district the non-compliance occurred.
Adding clarity and insight to this debate is a post from one of the best construction law blogs out there. Josh Glazov’s Construction Law Attorney Blog (based right here in Chicago). This recent post discussing both our articles and additional information concerning the reality of the way some trade associates are dealing with informing their members about the act, its requirements and offering recommendations about how to go about complying with the act is worth a read.
What’s also worth reading are the posts Mr. Glazov recently did on FDIC takeovers and how they can affect your projects along with these fun discussions of his recent jury duty on a case picked up and reported on in the Chicago Tribune by Ameet Sachdev.
