(NYSE: HOV). The award includes punitive (treble) damages for violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and also entitles the plaintiff to recover attorneys\u2019 fees, costs and prejudgment interest. The jury found that Hovnanian Enterprises used the subsidiary as an instrument to commit a fraud or injustice on purchasers of condominium units. The ultimate recovery against all parties, including the project architect and geotechnical engineer, could exceed $20 million.<\/p>\n<p>After a six-week trial in New Jersey Superior Court (Docket No. HUD-L-2560-13), the jury agreed that Hovnanian, after learning that the condominium building was being improperly constructed with plywood flooring in violation of the building code, chose to nevertheless continue construction. Hovnanian then sought to reclassify the building type. The jury agreed with the plaintiff\u2019s position that the reclassification was never approved by governmental authorities. The units were then sold without disclosing the code violations or the lack of approval to the buyers. The claim arose out of construction problems with the six-story, 132-unit residential and commercial building in Port Imperial, West New York, NJ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bplegal.com%2Fmmeyers&amp;esheet=51570677&amp;newsitemid=20170614005270&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Matthew+Meyers&amp;index=2&amp;md5=232030cab56c653c2970c51d367ea40a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Matthew Meyers<\/b><\/a>, a Shareholder in Becker &amp; Poliakoff\u2019s Morristown office, represented the homeowners and initiated the suit against Hovnanian. \u201cHovnanian knew that the use of combustible materials in the flooring was in violation of the building code, and instead of fixing the mistake, attempted to change the building\u2019s classification. They then sold units knowing that the change in classification had never been approved. They continued to arrogantly defend their conduct at trial but the jury would have none of it. Hopefully, after this verdict, Hovnanian will get the message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA key point making this landmark case particularly unique is that the parent company, Hovnanian Enterprises, was found to have used its shell subsidiary to perpetrate an injustice on the condominium unit buyers,\u201d said Becker &amp; Poliakoff shareholder\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bplegal.com%2Fjcottle&amp;esheet=51570677&amp;newsitemid=20170614005270&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=John+Cottle&amp;index=3&amp;md5=fc119cf5d032138c630f8a10b04425b8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>John Cottle<\/b><\/a>, who was first chair\/lead trial counsel in the case representing the homeowners. \u201cThis is a rare instance in which the \u2018corporate veil\u2019 was pierced, and we expect the result of this will be that Hovnanian Enterprises will ultimately be held responsible for the judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Cottle, the Becker &amp; Poliakoff trial team from Florida included:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bplegal.com%2Fpadair&amp;esheet=51570677&amp;newsitemid=20170614005270&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Perry+M.+Adair&amp;index=4&amp;md5=dd2402584c35c6ac1021486d46f02d21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>Perry M.
