Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Francis may recover the costs needed to complete construction since GroundSwell failed to complete the job as per the contract. Francis had to hire EquiAqua to finish the project, which incurred additional costs, and GroundSwell is liable for those costs. Option A is not correct as it only allows for recovering the costs of materials and labor. Option B is not correct as GroundSwell did not complete the job, so Francis cannot pay the full contract price. Option D is not correct as Francis cannot recover profits plus costs incurred up to the time of the breach, as GroundSwell did not complete the job.
