520 _aLooks at the 2004 federal district court decision in "Kilian v Equity Residential Trust" and its impact on toxic mould litigation. The court dismissed a mould-related claim based on scientific evidence showing that only a limited number of people are vulnerable to the effects of mould. This suggests that the impact of a history of mould in a property may be less than previously predicted. However, real estate appraisers must continue to be observant in their assignments of abnormal conditions such as mould that might have an impact on value. [Taken from journal abstract].
