A builder contracted to construct a building, but the work was substantially delayed and ultimately abandoned by the contractor, leading the property owner to secure a judgment ordering the contractor to pay damages. The court rejected the contractor's appeal arguing that the owner had implicitly accepted the partial execution of the work by taking possession of the site and materials, reasoning that taking possession of incomplete work after abandonment does not equate to the owner waiving their right to claim damages for non-performance or default on the contract terms, as such possession was necessary to mitigate further loss or proceed with completion.
