Wouldn't I be able to go to court, Why not here
I based my decession on a report that everything was OK, now I find out they are not

Because the soil test will be detailed. Not an opinion.
Here's what we tested for, and what we found at what level and how that compares to what the law allows.
If the testing was done wrong, yes you can pursue it.
If the allowable levels changed and are a problem now when they weren't 10 years ago....Maybe, but I doubt it would work.
If they say "we dug a hole and the dirt looks ok" that's just an opinion and is closer to a COA that the actual soil test.
The technology is available now to know a load of stuff about a signed item, but it's not quite cheap enough yet.
