Stephanie Maniscalco//August 29, 2016//
Where the insurer of a residence destroyed in a propane gas explosion brought claims including negligence and breach of implied warranty against a plumbing company that allegedly installed a gas supply line in a faulty manner, summary judgment for the plumbing company is affirmed because the statute of repose applied to bar all claims filed 10 years after completion of the improvement to the property.
Judgment is affirmed.
