JMCC Ltd., a cleaning subcontractor, sued general contractor Buttcon Limited for payment of services and extras on a construction project, registering a construction lien.
Buttcon counterclaimed for deficiencies and the cost of a bond to vacate the lien.
The court found JMCC was entitled to the adjusted fixed contract price for completed work and one verbally authorized extra for urgent overnight cleaning, but dismissed claims for other extras due to lack of written authorization and insufficient proof.
Buttcon's counterclaim for deficiencies was largely dismissed, as the issues were attributed to Buttcon's project mismanagement rather than JMCC's work quality.
Buttcon's claim for financing costs for vacating the lien was also dismissed, as it did not plead or prove damages under the Construction Lien Act.
