The case of Benoit Const. v. Bawa and Hard at Work, dated March 14, 2023, involved plaintiff Benoit Construction Inc. and defendant Hard at Work Inc. The former had sought compensation for a breach of contract regarding a luxury residential home project in King City, Ontario. Benoit had demanded a sum of $135,199.79 for services rendered and agreements made. Benoit's claim had included several components: an unpaid invoice of $25,713.79 from March 16, 2018; an equipment rental invoice for a Magni telehandler amounting to $72,320.00; a holdback of $7,157.00; and a remaining contract balance of $30,000.00. HAW had conceded owing $30,963.91 for the unpaid balance and holdback but had contested the additional claims. HAW had contended that the Contract mandated Benoit to complete framing but had denied any verbal agreement to reimburse $72,320.00 for the telehandler rental. HAW had argued it had terminated the Contract due to deficiencies, claiming $109,610.00 for rectification costs and completing the scope of work. The key issues had included determining whether HAW had agreed to pay for the telehandler rental and whether the Contract's termination had been justifiable. The court had ruled in favor of Benoit, ordering HAW to pay a total of $144,950.97, covering various invoices and damages. Specifically, HAW had had to pay $25,713.79 for the March 16, 2018, invoice, $79,477.00 for the April 23, 2018, invoice, and $39,760.18 for breach of contract damages. Additionally, the court had decreed that HAW would cover Benoit's costs for the legal proceedings.
