A building owner, having contracted for construction work, sued the contractor for damages, alleging poor execution of the work, and the contractor counterclaimed for payment of the remaining balance due under the contract; the lower court, having found that the expert report established the defective nature of the work but that the defects were not substantial enough to justify total non-payment, correctly ordered the owner to pay the balance owed while setting off an amount corresponding to the cost of repair, thus properly balancing the mutual obligations arising from the contract, leading to the rejection of the owner's appeal.
