A subcontractor that worked on the Barclays Center in Brooklyn can sue the general contractor even though it signed claims releases, a Brooklyn judge has ruled, finding that extensive changes to the contract during construction may have voided those releases.
Justice Carolyn Demarest (See Profile), of Brooklyn’s Commercial Division, ruled June 25 in The Laquila Group v. Hunt Construction, 502732/13, that subcontractor The Laquila Group, Inc. had pleaded a case against general contractor Hunt Construction Group, Inc.
