Construction Defect Laws in California.

California construction-defect litigation is driven by a statutory framework in the Right to Repair Act (Civil Code §§ 895 et seq.) for original-construction residential defects, alongside common-law negligence, breach-of-contract, and breach-of-warranty claims. California also applies a 10-year statute of repose for latent construction defects and a 4-year repose period for patent defects.
