Construction Dispute Resolution: Choosing the Remedy
Resolving a construction dispute begins not at the courthouse door but with the question of which legal remedy the customer should choose: termination of the contract, a demand of supplementary performance, or a reduction of the remuneration. The rules of the contract for work in the Civil Code place this choice in a clear frame and set their own conditions and periods for each path. The right choice depends on the character of the flaw, the possibility of curing it, and whether the work retains value for the customer.
