Construction Contract Dispute and Counterclaim
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe plaintiff sued for breach of contract after the defendant failed to adequately perform construction work that the plaintiff hired them for, claiming the work was substantially incomplete and defective, while the defendant counterclaimed, asserting the plaintiff prevented full performance and failed to pay for work completed. The court reasoned that the evidence demonstrated the defendant's performance was materially defective and incomplete, constituting a breach that excused the plaintiff's remaining obligations under the contract, and therefore affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff on the breach of contract claim while also finding for the defendant on the counterclaim because the plaintiff's actions did not wholly preclude the defendant from performing the remaining duties.
