The 2nd defendant's letter of 9 February 1965, read in its context and by its ordinary meaning, created a direct contractual obligation by the owner to pay the plaintiffs for the steelwork done on the site against the architect's certificates; the plaintiffs completed the steelwork and relevant certificates had been issued, therefore the 2nd defendant is liable for any balance due beyond the $884,000 already received, with quantum to be assessed later.
