A contractor, engaged to perform work on a building, sued the owner for payment, claiming the work was completed according to the contract, but the owner refused to pay, alleging significant defects. The lower court found that the owner had formally accepted the work by taking possession and paying a significant portion of the price, which constituted a waiver of minor defects, and only required remediation for serious issues, which were not established. The highest court upheld this decision, reasoning that the formal acceptance of the work, coupled with partial payment, demonstrated the owner's satisfaction to the point of waiving minor claims, and without proof of substantial non-conformity, the contractor was entitled to the remaining contract price.
