(June 24, 2019, 3:14 PM EDT) -- PHOENIX — An Arizona appeals panel on June 4 upheld a lower court’s decision that the state’s eight-year statute of repose barred a contractor’s third-party claims for indemnification from a subcontractor, finding that the discussions to repair alleged construction defects pursuant to the Purchaser Dwelling Act did not toll the period of repose and that the contractor knew that the subcontractor would not indemnify it as early as 2014 (R.E.P. Custom Builders Inc. v. McBride Excavating Corp., et al., No. 1 CA-CV 18-0358, Ariz. App., 1st Div., 2019 Ariz. App. Unpub. LEXIS 653)....
