Abstract

Contractors can face a significant dilemma when given plans or instructions that the contractor knows are incorrect. Should the contractor follow the contract documents or instructions or unilaterally correct the work? The case of American and Foreign Insurance Company v. Bolt Construction Company, heard in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, helps to shed some light on the consequences of this situation (American and Foreign Insurance Company v. Bolt Construction Company 1997).
