Increased lender liability and corporate real estate: more problems at higher prices
Article Abstract:
A decision of the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit imposes greater lender liability in cases of environmental cleanup. According to the ruling, provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act can hold a lender liable for environmental hazards cleanup. This additional cost can be passed on to borrowers, according to the court. This, in turn, will pose problems for real estate developers because lenders will either increase interest rates or refuse to provide credit.
