Judgement Civil Case No

Court
TANZLII

The defendant breached the construction contract by failing to insure the project, performing substandard work, and not completing the project within the agreed period, causing loss to the plaintiffs. However, the plaintiffs failed to strictly prove specific damages for materials and rehabilitation costs, and loss of profit was speculative. General damages were awarded due to the proven breach, with a reduction for contributory negligence and partial force majeure.
