In Davis V

In Davis v. Baugh Industrial Contractors, the traditional common law rule prevented a party who accepted a completed construction project from later suing the contractor for flaws in construction that caused injury to others. In reviewing such a case, the Washington state high court held that:

A) state statute prevented the court from changing the rule
B) common law rules cannot be changed, so it could not amend the rule
C) common law rules cannot be changed without U.S. Supreme Court approval
D) the rule had a good rationale behind it, so it would be maintained
E) the rule was not sensible in modern times and would be changed
