   ...workers and subcontractors over December and early January, but the lack of progress in the weeks that followed could not be attributed to this. I am therefore satisfied that the extent of the delay was a breach of the responsibility to provide the service within a reasonable time. If so, was that breach substantial? 11. I find that the extent of the delay resulted in a substantial breach, thus enabling MD to cancel, and obtain compensation for any loss. 12. The work required a...

   ...the amount of work that was completed by SC Ltd had a value of approximately $1,500.00. Accordingly, VN said she was claiming $6,000.00 from SC Ltd, which represented money that she paid to them but for which they did not provide her with goods or services. 20.

   ...meet the contractual standard? 4. The law of contract allows parties to enter into legally binding agreements. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA), briefly mentioned in submissions, does not apply since construction of an infinity cove is not a service ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic, or household use or consumption.

   ...walked around the area and considered the configuration of the proposed fence. TI said that the existing fence had not been straight, and that the erecting of a new, straight, fence, would have required an encroachment into adjacent road reserve, where services were located. After some discussion, he said, it had been agreed that an angle would be needed in the new fence in order to avoid this. T Ltd’s quote then was accepted by O Ltd.
