This assignment requires legal research on a construction contract case in New York. The scenario involves a homeowner, a general contractor (Star Contractors, Inc.), and a subcontractor (Jack's Plumbing Co.). The homeowner, Xiaoqi, is suing Jack's for breach of contract due to faulty work, but the general contractor has filed for bankruptcy. The central legal issue is whether Xiaoqi, the homeowner, is an intended third-party beneficiary of the subcontract between Star and Jack's, allowing her to sue Jack's directly. The assignment requires determining the appropriate New York trial court for the suit and predicting the outcome of Jack's motion for summary judgment. Students must cite a relevant case, highlight the governing rule, and attach the case to the assignment. The assignment aims to assess the student's ability to research and apply contract law principles in a construction context, focusing on third-party beneficiary rights and privity.
