This commercial dispute involved Pinnacle Technical Resources, Inc. suing Tekway, Inc. for breach of contract and declaratory judgment, with Tekway asserting counterclaims. After a bench trial, the trial judge rendered judgment for Pinnacle, awarding damages and declaratory relief. On appeal, the Court of Appeals reversed the award of declaratory relief, concluding that Tekway's August 25, 2019, email termination of the agreement was effective under the substantial-compliance doctrine, thus predating Pinnacle's subsequent for-cause termination.
