A well-known political duo may lose their Wilmington house at next month's sheriff's sale following nearly five years of litigation over a home-improvement contract that a judge referred to as 'tortured history.' ...

Judge Charles Butler said on Monday it is Wilmington's prerogative whether or not to enforce code violations and that he would not order the administration to get involved. 'Y'all fought your fight with SC&A... the litigation didn't turn out well,' Butler said. 'So now you want to use the city's L&I enforcement authority to get what you didn't get in your arbitration action." ... The judge suggested the money the Potters spent on a lawyer would be better spent just fixing the work they allege is defective. 'These people are all cutting off their nose to spite their face,' Butler said.
