The plaintiff contracted with the defendants to develop a web-based education platform for nurses, paying $20,000 under the agreement.
The defendants failed to deliver a functional website containing the promised administrative, user, corporate, and monitoring components within the contractual timeframe.
Evidence showed repeated delays, poor communication, and incomplete development, with the core administrator system only partially completed and other elements never functioning.
The court also found the corporate defendant had been dissolved before the contract was executed, rendering the individual defendant personally liable.
Although the defendant performed some work, the court held that the plaintiff was justified in terminating the contract after substantial delay and non‑performance.
The plaintiff recovered 80% of the amount paid, reflecting partial allocation of risk.
