Contractor License Practice Exam

What can the Commission order apart from injunctive relief?

1. Completion of the project

2. Restitution for damages incurred

3. Both completion of the project and restitution

4. Investigation into the contractor's background

The correct answer is: Both completion of the project and restitution

The Commission has the authority to order both the completion of a project and restitution for damages incurred. This power is rooted in the Commission's role to ensure compliance with legal standards and consumer protection in contractual agreements. When a contractor fails to fulfill their obligations, the Commission can mandate that any unfinished work be completed to meet the agreed-upon terms of the contract. Additionally, restitution serves to compensate any parties who have suffered financial losses as a result of the contractor’s failure to perform. It ensures that affected clients or stakeholders receive fair compensation for damages incurred, which might include lost funds or costs associated with hiring someone else to complete the work. The ability to issue these orders collectively supports the overarching goal of the Commission to maintain integrity within the contracting industry and protect the interests of consumers. The other options, while they may seem plausible for a regulatory body, do not encompass the full scope of the Commission's enforceable powers as connected to the oversight of contract performance and compensatory measures directly tied to contractor accountability.
