- High Court
Producer statements drafted and signed by the builder in order to obtain a code compliance certificate constituted 'building work' within the statutory definitions so the claim was not time barred; those producer statements created a sufficiently proximate duty of care to subsequent purchasers and were a substantial and material cause of the weathertightness damage, establishing negligence and liability for the full proven quantum of $737,286.80.
