§ 5.9.2.5.6 Breach of Express Warranty
It is not unusual for a contract between a general contractor and a subcontractor to contain various warranty provisions. At a minimum, virtually all subcontracts contain the statutory warranties that guarantee all work and materials provided for a period of 2 years. The duty in express warranty is contractual and not one imposed by law.147 The claim of breach of express warranty sounds in contract, and therefore, attorneys’ fees can be awarded to the successful party.148
