Question

I entered an escrow agreement for $6000 with the buyer of my house AT the settlement table. The agreement was supposed to cover the buyer if the work that I had agreed to complete as part of negotiations before settlement was not finished within the stipulated time period. The work was not finished due to the buyers limiting access to the work site to less than the stipulated time period. Despite this, the buyer has seen fit to sue me and the contractor together for $25,000, claiming that the work was not done on time and also done improperly. At 'walk-through' the buyer approved the work, which was mostly completed. Also, I never guaranteed the quality of work, just that the work would be completed. It was 85% completed. Do I have any more possible liability here than the $6000? Can you site me some specific case law to support your answer? Thanks!   Marci Waters
