Construction contracts might not be undercut by an intentional contract breach, according to Massachusetts’ highest court.
The Commonwealth’s Supreme Judicial Court ruled on June 13 that G4S Technology LLC can attempt to recover up to $14 million in costs from Massachusetts, despite the fact that the Omaha, Neb.-based firm knowingly paid subcontractors late and lied about it to the public agency that managed a 1,200-mile Western Mass. fiber-optic network project that blew its $90-million budget and two-year schedule by more than a year, according to court documents.
