Answer 1

1.If the termination is being made in good faith, it is unlikely you will have legal grounds to
fight it. However, you will need to ensure you are being paid in accordance with the applicable
contract provisions dictating your payments in the event of a termination for convenience. If the
termination appears to be in bad faith, you should advise the general contractor or owner, in writing,
that the termination would constitute a breach of your contract.

An offer by the general contractor or owner to pay for overhead and profit on the work not performed, in addition to payment for the work executed and reasonable costs incurred as a result of the termination, usually should be accepted because your damages recoverable under the law for a breach of contract are unlikely to exceed that sum, even before accounting for your court costs and attorney’s fees.

In order to make a claim for additional cost contractor has to make a report provided a good deal of information on claims value, length of time to resolve disputes and the most common causes of disputes. The methodology employed in this study limited the projects and disputes sampled to those the firm and this should be filed at the time of breach of project

Yes owner always have right to reject.
