Aronsohn v. Mandara
Supreme Court of New Jersey
484 A.2d 675 (1984)
Relevant factsFree
The Kawashes' patio-construction contract with Mandara (defendant) contained no express workmanship provision; when the Aronsohns (plaintiffs), later purchasers of the home, discovered the patio deteriorating, the lower courts held they couldn't sue for breach of an implied workmanship warranty because they lacked privity of contract with Mandara.
IssueFree
Whether a contractor's implied covenant to perform work in a reasonably good and workmanlike manner runs with the land.
