Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Neither a general contractor nor an owner was entitled to summary judgment in their respective breach of contract actions because genuine issues of fact remained as to whether the general contractor proceeded with diligence and promptness to correct the alleged truss defects and as to whether the owner afforded the general contractor a reasonable opportunity to do so, the owner's "student relocation and operation costs" could not be characterized as incidental damages where they were a "secondary consequence of" the general contractor's alleged "nonperformance," and the owner could not recover consequential damages on its claim against the guarantor.
