Karyn C.L. Walsh v. Slater James River Inc. d/b/a Prudential Slater James River and Kevin Hoffman
Plaintiff says Hoffman represented the Millers, who contracted to buy her home, and after a home inspection, she refused to meet their demands for the deck. Negotiations picked up again, but before the property could close, plaintiff says Hoffman contacted the Henrico County Building Inspection Office and reported possible deck problems. Henrico began enforcement action, but the sale fell through and both parties signed a release, she says. Prudential then filed civil action against her, seeking $7,500 in real estate commissions. At trial, the judge found in favor of plaintiff, and Prudential appealed. At trial 5 months later, a judge ruled again that Prudential had no grounds to recover money. As a result of the actions, plaintiff says she lost the sale of her home to the Millers; was confronted by a building violation; was forced to secure counsel to defend herself in two trials; and was forced to travel back and forth to Texas to address the claims, suffering substantial losses in time and expense. Plaintiff claims abuse of process and malicious prosecution and seeks compensatory damages of $30,000 and punitive damages of $500,000.
