Smith contracted to build a gymnasium for Limestone College. About the time the building was finished, an "extraordinarily heavy rainfall" caused the sewer system to back up into the gymnasium, doing damage that cost Smith $37,000 to repair. Smith billed the city sewer system for the work done. The city refused to pay, claiming there was no contract.
Smith claimed an implied contract existed. Do you think he was right? [Stanley Smith & Sons v. Limestone College, 322 S.E.2d 474, Ct. App., S.C. (1984)]
