A builder undertook construction work on a property owner's land, and during the execution of the contract, the owner unilaterally terminated the agreement, leading the builder to seek payment for the work completed and damages for lost profit; the Court of Cassation quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that unilateral termination of a contract for work without grave fault on the part of the contractor justifies the contractor's claim for indemnity covering not only the expenses incurred and work performed but also the profits they were reasonably expecting to make from the full execution of the contract.
