On Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015, the Colorado Court of Appeals issued an opinion in Rogers v. Forest City Stapleton, Inc. (Case No. 2015COA167), a ruling that may have lasting importance for developers, builders, contractors, designers, and homeowners in Colorado. The Rogers decision creates new law and standards applicable to future construction defect litigation in Colorado—and parties involved in the development, sale, and purchase of raw land in Colorado should be aware of the decision and the different standards, and risks, it establishes.
