Fault and Damages Limitation in Construction Delay Case

A lower court, having correctly established that a party's fault, specifically related to construction delays, caused harm to another party that had contracted for the work, erred by limiting the damages awarded solely to reimbursement of expenses incurred before the breach, rather than fully compensating the injured party for the total damage resulting from the failure to complete the work on time. The Supreme Court rejected the appeal, finding that the lower court's failure to fully address the direct and foreseeable consequences of the admitted fault constituted a failure to properly motivate its decision regarding the extent of the damages.
