In a construction lien action, the plaintiff subcontractor claimed damages for breach of contract against the defendant contractor.
The court determined that the contract between the parties was a fixed-price contract that did not incorporate the payment terms of the prime contract.
The defendant breached the contract by failing to pay the plaintiff's invoices and attempting to impose additional terms.
The court found the plaintiff was justified in terminating the contract and that its second lien was valid, directing the matter to an accounting phase to determine the quantum.
