Description

Plaintiff, City of Columbia, sues the defendants, C.F.W. Construction Company, a general contractor, and Sherman Concrete Pipe Company, a pipe manufacturer, for specific performance or, in the alternative, for damages alleging deficiencies in performance of a sewer construction contract. Right to relief was based both upon the original construction contract and a later executed guaranty agreement. At the close of plaintiffs proof the Chancellor granted defendants motion for dismissal of the action. Holding that the subsequently executed guaranty agreement superseded the original construction contract and that the City had failed to offer evidence of a right to relief under the guaranty in that it had not identified specific defects of construction of the sewer line, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court. We granted certiorari.
