This appeal concerns a bond given to secure the performance of a construction contract. The bondsman appeals against a decision that it remains liable under the bond, despite the fact that the employer paid to the contractor additional sums which were not due under the contract. There are also issues concerning the extent of the bondsman’s liability; these issues turn upon the meaning and effect of the termination provisions in the construction contract.
