CASE RESULTS

A partial damages award for construction defects upheld

The client’s problem

Defects arose in subcontracted work, but the subcontractor disputed the scope of its work and responsibility.

Our work

Kim & Hyun represented the party seeking compensation, addressing defect liability through the contract and expert findings.

The confirmed outcome

Damages were awarded in part. The award was reduced on appeal following a set-off raised by the other party. That reduced award stood after the other party’s further appeal was dismissed.

Outcomes depend on the facts and evidence of each matter.
