A property owner, having contracted for construction work, sought rescission of the contract and damages, arguing the contractor had performed the work defectively and caused damage to adjacent property, but the lower court dismissed the claim, holding that the owner lacked the standing to sue for damages to the adjacent property and that the alleged defects in the construction work were not sufficiently proven to warrant rescission, leading the high court to affirm the dismissal on the basis that the factual findings regarding the performance and damages were within the trial court's discretion, thus rejecting the appeal.
