Description
Rehearing denied January 27, 1971. This case arises out of a contract under which Robinhorne Construction Corporation, Red Arrow Construction, Inc., and Orin
L. Robson (Contractors) were to erect a Howard Johnson Motor Lodge for Jack O. Snyder (Owner). While the project was under
construction, a dispute arose, and Robinhorne instituted an action in the circuit court of Champaign County against Red Arrow,
Robson, and Snyder for a declaratory judgment, an accounting, and damages. The Owner subsequently terminated the contract,
and the Contractors then filed suit to enjoin the Owner from completing the project and to recover the balance due to them
as reimbursement for their expenditures plus a fee of six percent of the cost of the work completed prior to termination,
to which they claimed they were entitled under the contract. The Owner filed a counterclaim against the Contractors and their
surety, United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, to recover the costs he incurred in completing the contact, together
with costs, fees and expenses of suit. The two cases were consolidated, a jury was waived, evidence was heard, and the trial
court entered judgment against the Contractors on their claims, and for the Owner on his counterclaim. The appellate court,
fourth district, affirmed (113 Ill. App.2d 288), and we granted leave to appeal.
