Abstract
Im May 2001 a significant judgement was handed down by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in the matter of a suit filed by a developer against a manufacturer of phenolic foam roof insulation. the decision and the rationale for the decision by the Superior Court will have wide implications for roofing contractors, designers and all other parites involved with the construction of roofs. This case is expected to become a precedent for other similar actions, but more importantly, it sets new standards for "due diligence" and the duty of care for those who build roofs.
