Carmona v. Soto
Homeowners, Cindy Jacobs Soto and Ruben Soto, appeal from judgment awarding respondent Ruben Carmona doing business as R.I. Design & Construction, $90,750 plus prejudgment interest on a home improvement construction contract, foreclosing on respondent's $77,650 mechanic's lien, and awarding appellants nothing on their cross-complaint.
Appellants contend that (1) the trial court entered judgment against them as an unauthorized penalty for their witness' license violations; (2) that no substantial evidence supported denial of their cross-claim for corrective electrical work; (3) that the trial court erroneously compensated respondent for work he performed after the City issued a stop work order; (4) that the court erroneously awarded damages for breach of an April 22, 2007, document that was an unenforceable billing request; (5) that Ruben Soto has no personal liability on the construction contract because only his wife signed it; and (6) that prejudgment interest from April 27, 2007, was not authorized because the amount was uncertain. We modify the interest award, but otherwise affirm.
