9. Light contracted to build a house for the Mullers. After the job was completed, they refused to pay the balance due because they said some of the work was done in an unworkmanlike manner. When Light sued, the Mullers counterclaimed for $5,700 for delay under a liquidated damage clause in the contract, which provided that Light would have to pay $100 per day for every day of delay in completion of the construction. The rental value of the house was between $400 and $415 per month. Should the liquidated damage claim be enforced? Explain in two paragraphs
