Substantial Performance Doctrine | Payment Due for Completed Work Despite Minor Deficiencies Under Contract Law: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court upholds payment liability for refurbishment and O&M services under a commercial contract, ruling that minor deficiencies do not absolve the defendant of payment obligations. The judgment reinforces the 'substantial performance' doctrine, ensuring contractors receive dues for completed work, subject to 18% interest for delayed payments.
