Washington Supreme Court September 19, 2002, No. 71493-2 (Williamson, Inc. v. Calibre Homes, Inc.)

lead-opinion

Johnson, J.

— This case requires us to determine whether the substantial compliance doctrine applies to the real estate brokers and salespersons act (REBSA), chapter 18.85 RCW, and whether Williamson, Inc., substantially complied with the licensing requirements of REBSA. Calibre Homes, Inc. (Calibre) argues the substantial compliance doctrine does not apply to REBSA.
