Description
HOOD, Associate Judge. Appellant engaged appellee to prepare plans and specifications for a new dwelling house and to superintend
the construction of it. For such services appellant agreed to pay $2,250 and paid $500 on account, but on completion of the
building he refused to pay the balance. Appellee sued for $1,750 and appellant counterclaimed for the $500 paid on account.
This appeal is from a judgment granting appellee's claim and denying appellant's counterclaim. Although appellant advanced several defenses at the trial, he has appealed on the sole ground that the contract was illegal
and void and conferred no rights upon appellee. This argument is based on the contention that the contract was in violation
of the Architect's Registration Act of December 13, 1924, as amended May 29, 1928, 1 and as further amended September 7,
1950. 2
