Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Contract & Bus.) 416.12
SUBSTANTIAL PERFORMANCE
(Defendant) claims that (claimant) did not perform all of the essential things which the contract required, and therefore (defendant) did not have to perform [his] [her] [its] obligations under the contract. To defeat this claim, (claimant) must prove both of the following:
1. (Claimant) performed in good faith; and
2. (Claimant’s) performance was so nearly equivalent to what was bargained for that it would be unreasonable to deny [him] [her] [it] the full contract price less an appropriate reduction, if any, for (claimant’s) failure to fully perform.
