Jerico takes his boat to Saher's Ballard Marine Garage every year to have the bottom painted. Last
Question:
Jerico takes his boat to Saher's Ballard Marine Garage every year to have the bottom painted. Last year, when Jerico pulled the boat from the water for its annual painting, he discovered that the entire stern (back of the boat) was covered in barnacles because Saher had not painted that section of the boat. Jerico was so upset that he took to boat to Alki's Barn-a-Scrub ("Alki") to strip the barnacles and paint the boat. He told everyone at Alki (and at the Junction pubs) that Saher did not complete the work, did a terrible job, and was responsible for Jerico having to pay additional fees at Alki's to have the barnacles removed before the boat could be painted. Saher has heard the statements from several other boat owners when they explained why they did not bring their boats to her shop to be painted this year.
Saher comes to you, her attorney, looking for legal options. What will you advise Saher?
