Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A contractor, having agreed to perform work for a fixed price, unilaterally modified the plans during the execution, which resulted in increased costs, and the employer refused to pay the resulting higher invoice, leading to a dispute over whether the unilateral modifications justified the increased charges. The court held that the contractor could not unilaterally alter the agreed-upon scope of work and impose the resulting increased costs on the employer without prior agreement, affirming that the initial fixed-price contract governed the obligation, thus rejecting the contractor's claim for the supplemental payment based on the unauthorized changes.
