Lawrence M. Clarke, Inc., was the general contractor for construction of a portion of a sanitary sewer
Question:
Lawrence M. Clarke, Inc., was the general contractor for construction of a portion of a sanitary sewer system in Billings, Michigan. Clarke accepted Kim Draeger’s proposal to do the work for a certain price. Draeger arranged with two subcontractors to work on the project. The work provided by Draeger and the subcontractors proved unsatisfactory. All of the work fell under Draeger’s contract with Clarke. Clarke filed a suit in a Michigan state court against Draeger, seeking to recover damages on a theory of quasi contract. The court awarded Clarke $900,000 in damages on that theory. A state intermediate appellate court reversed this award. Why? [Lawrence M. Clarke, Inc. v. Draeger, 2015 WL 205182 (Mich.App. 2015)] (See Quasi Contracts.)
