Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A contractor entered into a written agreement with a property owner to construct a building. Midway through the project, the property owner, dissatisfied with the pace of construction, began withholding progress payments that were due under the contract. The property owner claimed dissatisfaction with the contractor's performance but refused to specify any defects in the work or allow inspections. The contractor, arguing that it had been compliant with the requirements of the contract, halted construction. Has the property owner violated its obligations?

  • No, the property owner was within its rights to withhold payments based on general dissatisfaction with progress alone.

  • Yes, the property owner violated its obligations by withholding payments without providing valid reasons or cooperating with inspections.

  • Yes, the property owner violated its obligations by failing to require adjustments to the construction pace before prohibiting payments.

  • No, the contractual obligations are suspended because the contractor halted performance prematurely.
