On behalf of a general contractor, the firm filed suit against a defaulted subcontractor and its performance bond surety for damages arising out of the default. The firm achieved a full recovery for its client including delay damages. Displeased with the $246,000.00 payment by its surety, the subcontractor sued the firm’s client in an alternate forum. Unfortunately for the subcontractor, the firm’s demurrer and motions for sanctions were granted, resulting in a further recovery by the firm for its client.
Counsel: P. Randolph Finch Jr. and Andrea L. Petray
