A systems integration contractor sued an electrical subcontractor for breach of contract on two correctional facility projects involving integrated security systems.
The dispute concerned the scope of work, including responsibility for supplying and installing wiring and terminating field devices.
The court found the subcontractor breached the contracts by refusing to perform required work and drew an adverse inference due to spoliation of electronic evidence and fabricated quotes.
The subcontractor’s counterclaim for unpaid work was dismissed.
The court also held the company’s principal personally liable for breach of the statutory trust under the Construction Lien Act but declined to declare the debt non‑dischargeable in bankruptcy.
