The court awarded an accountant $166,346 in quantum meruit damages for project management services rendered on land development projects outside his standard retainer.
The plaintiff, an accountant, claimed additional compensation for work performed on two land development projects for the defendants, arguing this work was outside his initial accounting retainer.
The defendants contended that the plaintiff's compensation already included this work.
The court found no explicit agreement for additional payment for the development work and awarded the plaintiff damages based on restitutionary quantum meruit, valuing his substantial and substantive involvement in the projects.
