France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA construction company, obligated by contract to perform work on a building, failed to execute the work within the stipulated time, causing damage to the property owner due to the delay, prompting the owner to terminate the contract and sue for damages. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, affirming that a contractual breach due to non-performance within the agreed timeframe justifies contract termination and the award of damages, as the timely execution of the work was a primary obligation of the contract, and the resulting prejudice was directly attributable to the delay.
