Case Study: Douglass Construction hires Electrical Quality, an electrical contractor company. Douglass is building a large commercial mall in Spokane, Washington, and Electrical Quality is based out of Moscow, Idaho. Douglass and Electrical Quality enter into an agreement whereby Electrical Quality does all of the electrical work on the mall for Douglass. After the work is completed, which came to $62,593 that Douglass and Electrical Quality agreed in a written contract, Douglass does not pay Electrical Quality, even though Douglass has no complaints about the work that was done. Douglass contends that Douglass Construction does not have to pay Electrical Quality because Electrical Quality is not licensed in the State of Washington, only in Idaho and the work was done in Washington. The State of Washington requires that all electrical contractors be licensed by that state. Electrical Quality argues that Douglass Construction knew that they were only licensed by the State of Idaho when they were hired.
