Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that a contractor performing work inconsistent with the contract must have filed a claim as a professional party. The plaintiff argued the work was defective, while the defendant contended no formal objection was raised. The court held that a professional contractor's silence on obvious defects implies acceptance or waiver of the right to claim later.
