Facts
Abraham Victor Ponce filed suit against the defendant because he was owed over $90,000 on his contract for completed work.
In the cross-complaint, defendant alleged that the contract was not paid in full because cosmetic issues with the concrete delayed the defendant's store opening, resulting in lost earnings.
After a four-week trial, the jury found in favor of Ponce. The subcontractor was awarded $92,000, plus 10 percent interest for the last two years of non-payment, and was found zero percent at fault for the construction defects.
Result
$92,000 for plaintiff/cross-defendant Ponce.
