Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff entered into an oral agreement with the defendant for construction of a pre-cast wall around his property for ZW$2,300,000,000-00. The defendant failed to complete the work by the agreed deadline of 30 January 2008, using poor quality materials that caused the wall to collapse. Despite written undertakings to complete the work, the defendant failed to do so, leading the plaintiff to sue for breach of contract.
