Infrastructure Co. (JV).\u00a0The JV hired NASDI, LLC as the demolition contractor. After its work on the project was delayed over 19 months, NASDI sought $7.5 million in additional compensation.\u00a0After receiving only a fraction of the claim amount, NASDI sued the JV for breach of contract, quantum meruit, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trial court granted summary judgment dismissing all of NASDI\u2019s claims.&nbsp;Specifically, the trial court held that the no-damages-for-delay clause in the contract barred the breach of contract claim.&nbsp;The Second Circuit affirmed.&nbsp;In doing so, the Second Circuit discussed two exceptions to the general rule that no-damages-for-delay clauses are enforceable in New York.&nbsp; The court\u2019s discussion is excerpted below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>NASDI first takes issue with the district court\u2019s grant of summary judgment on its breach of contract claim, which the district court held was barred by the subcontract\u2019s no-damages-for-delay clause.
