The General Supply and Construction Company, Appellant v. Robert Goelet, Respondent, and the Unit Concrete Steel…

Summary

The Court held that the owner’s termination of the construction contract without the architect’s certificate required by the agreement was wrongful, and although the contractor is entitled to the reasonable value of the work performed, the owner may set off damages measured by the contract’s stipulated liquidated damages. The Court also affirmed the award of interest on the contractor’s claim under the lien law.
