Are you all looking for a case where the contractor did just about everything wrong from a documentation and licensing perspective and still got away with it? If so look no farther than Crawford Construction & General Contractors Inc. v. Kemp. This case came up here at Musings once before relating to the contractor’s failure to obtain written change orders from the defendant homeowners. In the prior opinion, the Salem, Virginia Circuit Court allowed a large claim by the contractor, Crawford, to go forward despite the lack of written change orders.
