Rea Construction Co. v. Mccormick

The question here is whether the District Court in a non-jury trial properly denied recovery to Contractor for items claimed to have been the responsibility of Subcontractor on the ground that the contract was ambiguous and unclear, thus allowing receipt and decisive consideration of parol evidence. That is the crucial issue for once it is determined that the contract was ambiguous, Contractor concedes that it cannot overturn the consequent fact findings on interpretation which come here with the buckler and shield of F.R.C.P. 52(a), 28 U.S.C.A.
