Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the compelling legal impasse surrounding a canal project in the mid-19th century. After the projectâ"initially estimated to cost under £25,000â"was transferred to John Counter, the original contractor, Counter went over budget and the quality of work began to decline. The author presents two contrasting viewpoints on the matter; the government, backed by Chief Commissioner Chabot, held that Counter was entitled to compensation for his losses. Counter maintained that the contract he signed released the government from any financial responsibility. The book explores not only the legal and monetary tensions but also the political and personal conflicts that arose during this time. With detailed accounts of the project's history and thorough analysis of the legal and personal dimensions of the case, this book offers valuable insights into the intricacies of construction projects, contracts, and the complex relationships between governments, contractors, and individuals affected by such endeavors. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781390329414_0
