The appellant submitted the lowest acceptable bid in response to a Request for Proposals for a computer cabling project.
Due to a budget reduction, the respondent school board negotiated with the three lowest bidders instead of solely with the appellant, ultimately awarding the contract to another bidder.
The appellant sued for breach of the duty of fairness and good faith.
The trial judge dismissed the action, finding the board was permitted to conduct wider negotiations and that any differing treatment during negotiations did not affect the outcome.
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's decision and dismissed the appeal.
