New phase of trial alleging defective town homes

A second phase of a lawsuit alleging construction defects at a Lake Keowee townhouse project opens in Walhalla next month during a term of the Oconee Common Pleas Court.  The Hon. Scott Sprouse will hold the gavel starting May 2 over what’s considered to be a complex case that places Stoneledge townhouse owners against construction and related companies.  An earlier trial, ending in 2013, ended with verdicts in the amount of $5 million dollars for plaintiffs.
