Mold Fix Puts Expensive End To School District Legal Battle

摘要

Along legal struggle between contractors and a school district near Fresno, Calif., has come to a costly end as an extensive mold abatement project begins this summer at a 10-year-old high school complex. The work follows discovery of the mold in 2000 and an $8.2-million settlement last fall that roughly doubled the value of a defects claim against the contractors, according to sources involved with the case. The insurers for 13 contractors and suppliers subsequently decided to settle.
