John and Ellen LaRatta purchased an allegedly defective house from Melvin and Delores Mendenall in 1977. The house was constructed by the Mendenalls and was allegedly inspected and certified as being in compliance with the appropriate building codes by Coloma Township, through its former building inspector, Richard Pearson. As against the latter two parties, the LaRattas brought a complaint alleging that defendants acted fraudulently and negligently in failing to properly inspect the house during its construction and in representing the house as being in compliance with the building codes.
