On August 24, 2001, Mr. Cook presented Old New England with a fifth punchlist, labeled “inspection report,” which identified 63 items. After receiving the list, the building inspector concluded that there were no unsafe conditions on the property at that time. Old New England informed Mr. Cook that in the interest of resolving their dispute, it would address many of the issues identified in the fifth punchlist. In response, Mr. Cook threatened to have Cullen’s builder’s license revoked. The Defendants allege that these threats were made on several occasions to Cullen and also to foreman Howard Auen. Old New England addressed most of the items on the fifth punchlist at a cost of more than $60,000. Nicholas Antoniou performed most of these improvements, and Mrs. Cook initialed the item next to the punchlist after it was completed.
