Going The Extra Mile: Expanding The Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act, Emily R. Casey
Going The Extra Mile: Expanding The Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act, Emily R. Casey
University of Richmond Law Review
The Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act (“Act”), introduced in Congress in June 2021 and signed into law six months later, proposes a goal of balancing the disproportionately-high costs of housing and transportation felt by lower-income families by combining these resources in one project: transit-oriented housing developments. Middle-income and wealthy suburbanites have ready access to cities by car, but lower-income urbanites lack access to the suburbs without a private vehicle. While the goal of the Act recognizes this disparate outcome, the Act’s failure to include expansion of mass transit into the suburbs will continue to restrict low-income minorities to urban …

Since the last survey of this topic published in the fall of 2000, construction law in Virginia has continued to evolve in an array of areas involving issues such as claims on surety bonds, claims against public entities, construction-related products like Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems ("EIFS"), and mechanic's liens. These changes have implicated and better defined legal principles including the "no damage for delay" clause on public contracts, requirements for privity in breach of warranty claims, and implied indemnification. The significant issues in construction law have arisen both in a number of significant judicial decisions, mostly from the Supreme Court …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Construction Law, James R. Harvey Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
Developments in Virginia construction law during the year 1999-2000 were more modest than those of 1998-1999. Still, several decisions by the Supreme Court of Virginia, the Virginia Court of Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit justify the attention of those involved in the construction industry and its related legal practice. These cases address topics involving mechanic's lien waivers, the bar of sovereign immunity, recovery of direct and consequential damages, surety obligations, tortious interference with the bid process, and sanctions by the Virginia Board of Contractors. The majority of these cases demonstrate that the appellate …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Construction Law, James R. Harvey Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1998 and 1999, the Supreme Court of Virginia decided numerous cases that impact the practice of construction litigation in the Commonwealth. This flurry of activity by the high court reflects its apparent attempt to clarify an approach to the interpretation of contracts that fall outside the scope of the Uniform Commercial Code. By addressing an increasing number of cases in this area of the law, the court has been able to adapt many of its longstanding precedents to the problems found in today's construction contracting environment. This Survey article evaluates recent construction cases concerning the use of applicable federal …

The Collision Of Tort And Contract In The Construction Industry, Murray H. Wright, Edward E. Nicholas Iii
The Collision Of Tort And Contract In The Construction Industry, Murray H. Wright, Edward E. Nicholas Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
Over the past two decades, several courts have allowed construction industry plaintiffs to assert tort claims to recover for purely economic losses (i.e. other than injury to person or property) from other participants in the construction process. Parties assert tort claims, instead of or in addition to contract claims, to take advantage of the more liberal tort damage rules and, probably more importantly, to escape unfavorable contract provisions. This article briefly discusses the different origins and goals of tort and contract law. It then reviews some of the decisions allowing recovery of purely economic losses in tort as well as …
Design-Build Contracts In Virginia, Kevin B. Lynch
Design-Build Contracts In Virginia, Kevin B. Lynch
University of Richmond Law Review
Construction law is a varied and intricate outgrowth of the innumer- able complex relationships inherent in any building project. The role of the architect, once the master builder, has undergone and continues to undergo a redefinition. Due to recent changes in the construction industry, especially the development of construction management and design-build concepts, the regulatory framework within which the building project operates is, in many states, in need of reform. The purpose of this comment will be to examine the impact of the development of design- build concepts on the traditional model of owner, architect, and contractor relationships and to …
