Contractor Delay vs. Owner Authorization Failure in Construction Contract Dispute
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe dispute involved a construction contract where the contractor alleged the owner breached by failing to provide necessary authorizations in a timely manner, leading to delays and increased costs, and the owner counterclaimed for liquidated damages due to the contractor's delayed completion. The court examined whether the owner's actions constituted a compensable delay or a non-compensable delay excusing liquidated damages, focusing on the contract's provisions regarding notice and the allocation of risk for unforeseen delays. The court determined that the owner's procedural failures regarding authorization requests were non-compensable events under the contract terms, thus upholding the application of liquidated damages against the contractor for the ultimate delay in completion.
