Counter suing ? WTF take the loss and move on. This developer / contractor is insane. Glad the judge made them tear it down though. If not it would’ve set a dangerous precedent
Pretty sure they countersued to try and get her to settle. Didn’t work,out the way they hoped. Now they’ll try and use the cost of litigation to try and get some money out of her, probably.
Such audacity. The developer is trying to make the lady pay for his mistake by paying for the costs to demolish and remove the house he built on the wrong property! Hope that gets laughed out of court.
Sure wish I could be part of that jury. There ought to be some kind of penalty for jerking that poor woman around. Her property has been destroyed. The right answer would’ve been the contractor apologizing profusely, having the building demolished at their own cost, and having her land professionally restored. Anything else does not make her whole.
I wouldn't be so sure about that beings how the lady lives in California & I'm sure the other parties involved are locals she may get a kangaroo court jury that's partial to them, just never know in this day & age!
Hooray for this poor lady. She should also sue the developer for loss of use of her property for their mistake. The argument that it's too expensive to remove the house is not a legally viable proposition in a court of law. I can't believe the developers chose to challenge her through the courts. It will only increase their costs and it will not change the outcome; they will have to rectify their mistake regardless of the cost. Kudos to the judge.

That’s a bit of an oops 😬 How does someone build a whole dang house…. on the wrong property??!! I just wonder. The property owner could have kept it and had a free house. Or couldn’t they have simply moved the house to the correct lot? It just seems like such a waste of materials especially when materials are at a premium after the Lahaina fires.
@@MistressPrime No that's not what happened. She didn't have a house on the property and didn't want one. She was using it as a meditation retreat. The developer failed to do a land survey. Instead, they counted the number of lots based on the position of telephone poles. The picked the wrong lot. A land survey would have shown they were on the wrong lot and avoided their mistake.
My dad bought an acre of land in New Mexico many years ago as an investment. He paid taxes on it every year, but other than that he had no dealings with it. One year his taxes shot up and he found out that a housing developer had built a home on the property and people were living in it! In court the developer claimed he bought all the property around it and thought that one acre was part of the purchase. Somehow the developer was not held responsible, but the current homeowner either had to vacate the house or buy the property from my dad at current value, which was worth a LOT more now that it had a house on it and all the utilities installed. They opted to purchase the land for a second time, first from the developer and then from my dad. My dad could've pushed to claim the house as well, but he was a nice guy and knew the homeowners weren't at fault. But, he still held out for the full value and made a nice profit off that investment!
This was simple from the beginning. The builder was in the wrong and should have to pay any expenses related to finding them responsible. And they've lost money trying to bully the women into just accepting payment and move on.
What a waste, a brand new house ready to be lived in gets torn down, she doesn’t live on the site, will not get title insurance so will have an issue if she wants to sell in the future.
PJs sued the owner for their mistakes! They trespassed on HER property, they destroyed HER Plants, they built on her property. They damaged her property. No clear it away, restore the foliage and get off HER PROPERTY!!
Tell us the builder's name. Who can be that stupid to build on the wrong property and then to sue the land owner not once but twice! Who did they use for land surveying? Common sense thing to do never should have taken this to court, apologize sincerely to land owner, pack up all my stuff, and be 200% sure to build on the correct site. This builder is a joke!
Maybe the jury will uhpholc the verdict, plus requiring the defendant to restore the property to its original condition and also pay the plaintiff’s court costs. That’s the only outcome which would be completely fair.
Since the property cannot be returned to its original state,the owner should be compensated with another parcel of land with the same attributes that attracted her to it-no matter the cost.
The Developer refused to pay for a Survey which would have been able to determine which Lot the Developer owns. The Developer filed for Bankruptcy showing the Developer was an Incompetent Developer. The Lot Owner should have been Compensated Financially for the Destruction of the Landscaping that was Destroyed by the Developer when the House was built on Her Lot without Her Permission. Trees and Plants can be expensive to replace so the Developer should be financially responsible for replacing the Trees and Plants that was destroyed because of His Own Negligence.
Houses can be moved on the mainland, so why doesn't the developer hire a company to move the house to his lot (in whole or 2 parts)? He should also have to pay for the loss or damage to the plants on her lot.
@@LonnieBrewer-dd4wi My parents had houses moved across town in Tampa years ago and the only problems were with brick houses. It's a lot less expensive than tearing the current house down, not being able to salvage all the materials, disposing of the materials and rebuilding on their own lot.

Of course, why didn't they just do that. Taking a part a house and move it is not that difficult and better yet just pickup the entire house as a whole. 🙄

It is NOT a $500k house. That's just what the developer hoped to sell it for. It's not worth that much in materials, believe me. They goofed, they pay to fix it. And they won't pay 500k to fix it, but they should give that to the land owner for her time and trouble.
