The court awarded the plaintiff contractor €25,730.50 for verified extra work and associated costs against the defendant subcontractor. While most claims for additional work were rejected, the court found a valid agreement in August and September 2014 to offset cable damages with outstanding invoices. Consequently, the plaintiff's specific vordering for this offset was dismissed, but the claim for extra work and legal fees was allowed.
