Leo Crank is a government project supervisor. He is in charge of managing a public contract to construct a new government office complex. John Able is a general contractor and was awarded the work through a competitive bidding process. For no apparent reason, Leo Crank took an immediate dislike to Mr. Able at their first meeting. As he was leaving the meeting, Crank told Able, "I am a real tough guy to work for and I'll be your worst nightmare on this job." Subsequently, Crank micromanaged every aspect of Able's work Moreover, on several occasions, Able requested Crank's cooperation to progress with the work, but Crank refused to assist Able in any way.

Able sued for improper contract administration. He wants to withdraw from the contract and retain the progress payments he has received for work successfully completed. The government defended the suit by stating despite the fact Crank was a difficult supervisor, Able must complete the contract on time and in its entirety.
