ROVIRA, Justice,
specially concurring:
Two issues were raised by the Tri-Aspen Construction Company in its petition for certiorari. The first issue was whether the builder of a custom-built home which was constructed in accordance with plans and specifications provided by the owner may be held liable to a subsequent purchaser for negligent construction. The second issue was whether it was proper for the jury to award exemplary damages under the facts of this case.
The court denied review of the first issue. I would have granted. See Cosmopolitan Homes, Inc. v. Weller, 663 P.2d 1041 (Colo.1983) (Rovira, J., dissenting).
I believe that the court, by its refusal to consider the first issue, has allowed the ruling of Cosmopolitan Homes to expand far beyond the facts of that case.
I concur in the opinion of the court.
