Liability of a Developer to Owner

Alabama courts have found that a developer is not liable for a claim of negligence and suppression brought by a residential homeowner who purchased his home from a contractor and had no contractual relationship with the developer. See DeAravjo v. Walker, 589 So.2d 1292 (Ala.1991); Jones v. Whitt, 676 So.2d 313, 316 (Ala. Civ. App. 1995).
