Contract Interpretation in Change Order Compensation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute centered on the interpretation of contractual provisions concerning the calculation of compensation, specifically related to cost adjustments, following a change order that altered the scope of work. The court reasoned that the contract language clearly dictated a specific method for calculating such adjustments, limiting recourse to alternative equitable theories, and thus affirmed the lower court's application of the contract's stipulated formula despite one party's assertion that it resulted in an unconscionable outcome given the unforeseen circumstances of the change.
