Syllabus

<p>Contract — Performance — Substantial performance — Evidence — Case for jury.</p> <p>Where a party has acted honestly, with intent to fulfill his contract, and has performed it substantially but has failed in some comparatively slight particulars, the other party cannot hold and enjoy the fruits of his labor without paying a fair compensation according to the contract, receiving credit for whatever loss or damage he suffered. Whether the party acted in good faith, and whether the departures from the contract were material are generally questions for the jury.</p>
