In Vaughn v. Dame Construction Co. (1990) 223 Cal. App. 3d 144, a condominium owner sued the builder for damages for defective construction. While the suit was pending, she sold the condominium. The builder argued the plaintiff no longer had standing to continue the suit. The appellate court rejected this argument. It held the plaintiff had indisputably suffered damage to her property before transferring it, and the subsequent sale of the property did not automatically assign or transfer her cause of action for damages.
