$700,000 Judgement in Breach of Contract Dispute

Gentry Locke for the Plaintiff

Amherst Circuit Court

This was a suit for breach of contract or quantum meruit against a subcontractor who failed to pay for crane services. After a bench trial, the Court awarded a $700,000 judgment against the LLC defendant but refused to hold the individual defendant liable on the personal guarantee that they signed. That adverse ruling in the individual defendant’s favor has been appealed to the Virginia Court of Appeals. Briefs have been filed. Oral argument has not been set.
