Facts
A house in Kamloops, British Columbia had insufficient foundations which were discovered upon inspection by the city. Stop work orders were issued but not enforced. The house was sold to the Neilsens. On discovering the construction deficiencies, the Neilsens sued the city for negligent performance of inspection. The vendor of the house, Hughes, assumed liability as well. 75% of the liability was delegated to Hughes and 25% was given to the city.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“Birth, and copulation, and death.
That’s all the facts when you come to brass tacks:
Birth, and copulation, and death.
I’ve been born, and once is enough.
You dont remember, but I remember,
Once is enough.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“I’m not afraid of facts, I welcome facts but a congeries of facts is not equivalent to an idea. This is the essential fallacy of the so-called “scientific” mind. People who mistake facts for ideas are incomplete thinkers; they are gossips.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
