This appeal arises from the construction of the Villa Mallorcas condominium project (Project) in the late 1970s. The ensuing construction defect litigation began in 1984 and continued in various forms over the next decade, culminating in this appeal. The remaining parties include appellant Maryland Casualty Company (Maryland), the primary liability insurer for the Projects general contractor and owner (referred to as Kelly), and the respondents, three of the subcontractors on the Project: the masonry subcontractor Bailey & Sons, Inc. (Bailey), the framing subcontractor L&H Construction Company (L&H), and the architect Carl McLarand Associates (CMA) (collectively Subcontractors).
