Monier Roofing TilesSettlement Notes
- McAdams v. Monier, Inc.
- Case No. SCV 16410
- Pending in the Superior Court of California, Placer County
Plaintiff X McAdams brought this class action lawsuit alleging Monier made misleading statements concerning slurry-coated concrete roofing tiles manufactured from Jan. 1, 1978 through Aug. 14, 1997. The case went to trial in October 2012 and ended in January 2013. At trial, the jury found that the Class members were “exposed to a statement by Monier that the color coating on Monier slurry-coated roofing tiles would last 50 years, would have permanent color, or be maintenance free, and that Monier failed to disclose in that statement that the color coat would deteriorate in less than 50 years.” However, the trial judge overturned the jury’s verdict and entered judgment in favor of Monier.
The plaintiffs appealed the judge’s ruling and won. In October 2015, the Third District Court of Appeal issued an opinion reversing the trial judge’s ruling and reinstated the jury’s verdict. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Monier Roofing Tiles settlement website.
