The home inspection company had a contract with client A. Client B looks over the inspection report, doesn't see anything significant and decides to purchase the house. A few months later, client B realizes that the home is in significant disrepair and it will be very costly to fix. Client B then decides to seek reparations from the home inspector for failing to disclose significant defects within the building. Unfortunately, client B will have a tough road ahead prevailing in this case since client B was not under contract for the home inspection in the first place.
