Questão jurídica principal
Whether the architect could claim additional fees for works not covered by the flat fee despite the early termination of the contract.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The flat fee covered only the works defined by the contract’s specification; additional works ordered later and not included in that specification gave rise to extra remuneration.
Fundamentação extraída
The contract was a mixed architect contract governed by the rules of mandate and contract for work depending on the services. Because the parties ended it early without a new remuneration agreement, the court referred to the principles of flat-price remuneration and held that work outside the original program remained payable separately.
