The plaintiff subcontractor brought a construction lien action against the defendant general contractor after its subcontract was terminated.
The general contractor counterclaimed for completion costs and back-charges.
The court found that the subcontractor had repudiated the contract through excessive payment demands, a production slowdown, and uncorrected deficiencies, justifying the termination.
The subcontractor's claims were dismissed, and it was ordered to pay the general contractor $516,458.18 in damages for back-charges.
A sub-subcontractor was awarded $84,002.92 in basic holdback from the general contractor.
