Reversing Jury Verdict, Court Holds Warranty Clause to be Unambiguous
This warranty clause in this new case read as follows:
WARRANTY. The Contractor shall guarantee all work against faulty materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of final payment and the performance bond shall remain in full force and effect for the period.
The clause was at issue in a suit between a roadway contractor and an owner over alleged defects in asphalt work. The jury awarded the owner $250,000 in damages. But the high court reversed, concluding the trial court made a mistake in allowing the jury to interpret the meaning of the warranty clause.
