The conflict arose from an alleged breach of contract related to a construction project undertaken by both companies. **Facts:** 1. Mormat Electrical was contracted by Hunter Construction to perform electrical installations as part of a larger construction project. 2. Disputes began when Mormat Electrical claimed that Hunter Construction failed to fulfill payment obligations as specified in the contract. 3.
