Contractual Interpretation of Delay Costs Versus Consequential Damages Exclusion
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute concerned whether a party was entitled to recover under a contract provision granting recovery for costs incurred due to a delay, where the delay was caused by the other party's failure to perform a prerequisite, despite the contract also containing a clause limiting remedies to direct damages and excluding consequential damages. The court reasoned that the clause limiting remedies to direct damages and excluding consequential damages did not bar recovery for the specific costs incurred because the non-performing party's breach of the prerequisite triggered the separate contractual provision allowing recovery for delay-related costs, which were interpreted as direct damages arising from the breach, not consequential damages.
