Daniel E. Terreri & Sons, Inc. v. Mahoning County Board of Commissioners
786 N.E.2d 921 | Ohio Court of Appeals | 2003
Holding Summary
The court reversed the breach-of-contract judgment because the 'no damages for delay' clause protected the county from liability for delays in issuing notice to proceed, and the contractors anticipatorily repudiated the contracts through their demand letters.
Appellants were protected by the 'no damages for delay' provisions in the two contracts.
