B & L Drywall, LLC v. R.L. Turner Corporation
23A-PL-2962
Civil plenary. Affirms the Boone Circuit Court’s order granting summary judgment and damages to R.L. Turner Corp. for B&L Drywall, LLC’s breach of contract. Finds the trial court did not err in denying B&L’s motion for summary judgment and granting RLTC’s motion for summary judgment as there are no genuine issues of material fact, and RLTC is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Also finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it awarded RLTC damages in the amount of the difference between the contract sum and the cost to pay the replacement contractor, as such an award was permitted by the unambiguous terms of the contract.
