On the Issues
- In a decision by Judge Dykman on 7/29/04, the court of appeals affirmed a lower court ruling that held that a municipality is liable to subcontractors for its failure to ensure that a general contractor obtained proper bonding. In the case in question, the Village of Readstown failed to ensure that a general contractor working on a public works project was properly bonded; when the general contractor failed to pay the subcontractors, the subs successfully sued the Village to recover the unpaid sums.[3]
