Case: “Erin Kelly hired Century Builders to build her a new house for $250,000. After the house was 80 percent complete and $200,000 had been paid, Century left the job site to work on another house. What remained to be done was the installation of the fixtures and appliances in the bathrooms and the kitchen, the installation of the heating and air conditioning unit, the completion of the stone fireplace in the living room, and the installation of the sidewalks, driveway, and irrigation system. When Century asks for the final payment, should Erin refuse, claiming a common law right of self-help?,” (Frey, M., p. 69).
