Defect Damages Calculation Upheld Despite Flawed Inspection Notice

The appellant, having been held liable for defects in work performed on a building, appealed a lower court decision regarding the calculation of damages, arguing that the inspection report used to assess the defects was flawed because it was conducted without proper notice to them, thereby violating due process. The appellate court upheld the initial judgment, reasoning that while the procedural irregularity regarding the notice of the expert inspection was noted, the appellant had failed to demonstrate specific prejudice resulting from this omission, especially since the expert's findings were corroborated by subsequent technical reports and the appellant's own admissions regarding the existence of the defects, leading the court to find the damages calculation sound despite the procedural lapse.
