A property owner contracted with a builder for construction work, and following a dispute regarding the quality of the work, the owner initiated proceedings seeking rescission of the contract and damages based on the builder's alleged non-performance of contractual obligations. The court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that even if the work exhibited certain defects, the non-performance was not sufficiently grave or fundamental to warrant the rescission of the entire contract, as the work was substantially completed and the remedy should lie in demanding rectification or obtaining compensation for the remaining deficiencies rather than voiding the agreement entirely.
