In responding to the claim, our attorneys brought counterclaims for damages of anamount exceeding the amount of the statement of claim due tofaulty, slow performance, and complete failure to complete the terms of the agreement. The value of the damage turned out to be even higher after the analysis of the case evidence– an expertise on the amount of damage suffered. Through the counterclaim and its legal formulation the contractor’s limitation of liability for the construction was avoided and it was possible to claim real suffered losses resulting from poor quality, slow performance and / or complete failure.
