Cancelled Contract

Georgia

I am a subcontractor that has signed a contract with a GC. We were getting information regarding equipment for the job and the supplier wanted a joint check agreement. GC would not sign their agreement but wanted them to sign the GCs. Their Comptroller stated that the working in the joint check agreement from the supplier was that if the subcontractor did not sign the joint check they would have to pay the supplier twice. The statement she was was that "ARSIMS May misappropriate the funds". We have never worked for this GC nor have we ever had a problem paying our suppliers. The GC no longer wants to work with us but we want to know what or if any recourse we may need to take to be proactive to make sure there are no future issues.

First of all, if you have a signed subcontract the GC can't just unilaterally decide not to work with you. Second, its not unusual that the GC wants to use its joint check form. You should have counsel review both forms and advise you as to the language; also, that could provide information to go back to the supplier and resolve the issue. Let me know if you have any further questions.
