The Court held the trial judge was justified in finding the plaintiff likely to obtain a substantial judgment but had over-assessed the interim figure by failing to make reasonable allowances for engineer confirmation and contested items; accordingly the interim award was reduced from $257,000 to $200,000.

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA3183/1985

Neither party proved the alleged prior agreement to bind the other to their respective test figures; the defendants unjustifiably suspended work and thereby repudiated the contract; on proper construction the contract requires measurement by reference to substantially compacted crushed rock (or compacted fill) for interim purposes and a conversion factor of 2.0 is appropriate for interim calculations.
