 (SIX), the Supreme Court announced in an awaited judgment today in a dispute  between homeowners and Myresjöhus the so-called enstegstätade facades are  erroneous constructions. The Supreme Court notifies the  leave to appeal the issue of the contractor's liability shall apply even after  warranty period.       "The goal is not settled, but now it must be examined in two stages,"  says lawyer Peter Savin representing Myresjöhus in the case.       "The Supreme Court has just said that there is an error in the  construction, now seeks to determine whether this involved negligence ",  Savin continues to SIX.       Under the existing provisions contractor is responsible only for  "Substantial error that is due to his negligence."       The second step is that HD should also consider whether alternative buyers can  be entitled to compensation or transfer prohibition in  Construction contracts are binding on the alternative buyers. A unanimous Gota   Court of Appeal went against previous homeowners in this matter.       The goal has walked all the way up to the Supreme Court after  a number of homeowners sued Myresjöhus for moisture and mold problems in  enstegstätade facades. Eksjoe District Court found in favor of 23 of 34  homeowners in Svedala and Myresjöhus was thus considered liable.       There are somewhere around 30,000 putshus with enstegstätade facades  in Sweden. The building method was used around the turn of the entire industry,  where sometimes the listed companies, JM, NCC, Peab and Skanska.       Enstegstätade facades is a facade without an air gap, which has been shown  to pose a risk for moisture and mold damage if water enters  by the facade.    Mattias Magnusson  mailto: mattias.magnusson@six-group.se  www.blogg.six.seSIXNews  SIX News
