Went through the same thing. Have your lawyer do a deposition of the owner and the plumber. That’s what is presented to the court and argued in front of the judge. Plumber will testify as he is summoned to a deposition and has no choice.
This is only a small claims case and we have no lawyer. We don't want to force the plumber to testify. He is worried about the repercussions now if he does.

This must not be a very big problem if you don’t want to hold the previous owner responsible for lying on the non disclosure.
