Contractor Payment and Supervisor Authority Dispute
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe case concerns a contractor's claim for payment for excavation and retaining wall work performed based on instructions from the site supervisor/architect, where part of the work occurred on an adjacent property owned by that architect. The court upheld the property owners' liability, reasoning that under the applicable construction contract incorporating SIA Norm 118, the site supervisor held broad representation authority (general power of attorney) over the owner concerning all work related to the project, and there was no demonstrable, recognizable excess of this authority when ordering work on the neighboring plot, especially since the contract contemplated using excavated material for general site profiling. Furthermore, regarding a subsequent defect claim, the court found that the continuous presence and involvement of a geologist served as an effective oversight mechanism, thereby negating the contractor's obligation to issue a formal warning under Art. 25 SIA Norm 118 concerning defective instructions from the site supervisor.
