I am a student in a Business Law class and am attempting to analyze a case involving a construction company contracted to renovate a grocery store. The original contract did not discuss whether or not the contractor could subcontract the entire job to another firm. However, this is what the contractor did and the grocery store owner believes that the work performed by the subcontractor is significantly inferior to the work that would/should have been performed by the original contractor.

The grocery store has petitioned the court for an injunction and sued the contractor for breach of contract and specific performance. The contractor argues that it has a right to delegate the duties of the contract.

Is this correct? Even though it was not specifically stated, the grocery store assumed when entering into the contract, that this firm would be completing the work. Are contractors permitted to sub out the entire job?

My response:

We don't do school work. Do it yourself, and learn.

Also, why do you think the law is the same all over the World? Who told it was?
