The plaintiff contractor registered a construction lien and brought an action for unpaid invoices totaling $24,327.43 relating to a condominium renovation.
The defendant owner disputed the amount, claiming 19 specific discounts and back-charges for alleged deficiencies, unapproved extras, and incomplete work.
Following a summary trial, the court preferred the plaintiff's evidence, supported by contemporaneous logs, over the defendant's testimony.
The court allowed minor deductions totaling $2,423.85 (including HST) for unperformed electrical work, door changes, and code violations, but dismissed the majority of the defendant's claims.
The plaintiff was awarded $21,903.58.
