SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION ON REHEARING Mr. JUSTICE NASH delivered the opinion of the court:  In our original opinion we determined that the Slovak American Charitable Association, counterplaintiff-appellant, was entitled to judgment on its counterclaim for breach of contract against Herbert W. Jaeger & Associates, Inc., counterdefendant-appellee, and remanded the case for a trial of the issue of damages under the counterclaim and the response to it. We here expand upon our remanding order to point out that as it appears from the record that Jaeger did partially perform the contract in good faith it would be unjust to deprive Jaeger of the amount of the benefits received from such performance by the Association, less any damages to the Association resulting from Jaeger’s failure to complete the contract. See South Beloit Electric Co. v. Lar Gar Enterprises, Inc. (1967), 80 Ill. App. 2d 367, 375, 224 N.E.2d 306, 311; Royal Ornamental Iron, Inc. v. Devon Bank (1975), 32 Ill. App. 3d 101, 107, 336 N.E.2d 105, 110; 12 Ill. L. & Prac. Contracts §406, at 554 (1955). In all other respects we adhere to our original opinion. GUILD, P. J., and SEIDENFELD, J., concur.
