The Right To Bear Farms Llc Et Al V. Degrenier Contracting And Property Management Llc Et Al
Revised Summary: The legal action initiated by The Right to Bear Farms LLC and Silly Goose Productions LTD, both under the control of Susan Sarandon, is against DeGrenier Contracting and Property Management LLC, along with Chad and Carin DeGrenier. The dispute centers on a contract related to the construction of a property in Stamford, Vermont. The plaintiffs engaged Chad DeGrenier as the construction manager for the project, which was intended to be a sustainable, off-the-grid family residence. The lawsuit contends that despite Mr. DeGrenier's assurances of his expertise and experience, the construction failed to meet the agreed-upon standards. The plaintiffs charge Mr. DeGrenier with issuing unverifiable invoices, unauthorized removal of materials from the property, and inadequate rectification of construction issues. A subsequent investigative report uncovered numerous construction defects, such as inadequately supported beams, substandard insulation, incomplete ceilings, and gaps in trim. The plaintiffs further assert that Mr. DeGrenier employed unqualified contractors and made unsuitable recommendations based on their capabilities rather than the project's best interests. They also allege financial misconduct, including overcharged invoices, mismanaged funds, and a failure to provide precise accounting records. The lawsuit comprises two counts: Breach of Contract – Construction Management Agreement and Breach of Implied Warranties of Merchantability and Workmanship – Construction Management Agreement. The plaintiffs are seeking damages, the amount of which will be determined at trial, for the defendant's alleged breach of contract.
