U.S. District Judge Andrea R. Wood recently upheld a jury’s decision to award nominal damages of $1 in a contract dispute involving a major wind turbine project. The subcontractor, The Boldt Co., had filed a motion to alter the verdict, aiming to recover payments it claimed were owed by the defendant, Black & Veatch Construction (BVCI). Boldt was removed from the project due to scheduling problems, prompting its legal challenge. However, Judge Wood, presiding over the Northern District of Illinois, denied the motion, reinforcing the original judgment.
Details of the case and Judge Wood’s decision are documented in recent court filings.
