Syllabus

The trial court did not err in declining to enforce a promissory note and mortgage agreement, as there was a failure of consideration. The court also did not err in awarding damages for breach of a construction contract, as the contractor failed to substantially complete the project on time as agreed. However, the court did err in computing the damages, and the case will be remanded for the court's correction of a minor matter. In addition, the court did not err in concluding that the contractor acted recklessly with respect to the breach of contract. Finally, the court did not err in rejecting a quasi-contract claim for services performed by a third party, as there was no agreement to pay her and she provided nothing of value. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for correction of the judgment entry.
