Statement of Case:
This is a civil case brought by Plaintiff Vinton Philip Watson, Jr. against Defendant Neel Lumber, LLC, d/b/a Lake Lumber. In this case, Watson claims he entered into a contract with Lake Lumber for the provision of construction plans and materials. He asserts a claim for breach of contract, alleging that Lake Lumber failed to provide proper construction plans to him.
Lake Lumber agrees that a contract exists between the parties, but it denies Watson’s assertion that the parties’ contract included a term for the provision of construction plans. Lake Lumber asserts affirmative defenses, which I will specifically instruct you on later.
Lake Lumber also asserts a counterclaim against Watson for breach of contract, claiming Watson failed to pay Lake Lumber for materials Lake Lumber delivered to the construction project. |
