The attorneys involved fought vigorously for years with little common ground, but they agreed on this: Judges in Palm Beach County took extraordinary measures to accommodate a massive construction defect case.

The suit pitted West Palm Beach-based builder Kolter Signature Homes and dozens of subcontractors against a condo association board in a $42 million construction defect case. It grew so large, no courtroom in Palm Beach County could accommodate the crowd, forcing court administrators and their partners to consider several venues, including the Palm Beach County Convention Center, for the trial.
