Contractor's defect removal right waived by mutual agreement to compensate the end buyer.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court upheld the contractor's right to remove manufacturing defects or order a new build, but found this right waived. Both parties acknowledged the defects and the obligation to indemnify the end buyer, effectively renouncing the specific contractual remedies previously available. Consequently, the decision was revoked to reflect that the parties had agreed on a compensation-based solution instead of defect rectification.
