Anderson v. Schwegel
Idaho Court of Appeals
796 P.2d 1035 (1990)
Relevant factsFree
Schwegel (defendant) and Anderson (plaintiff) disagreed over whether their $6,000 agreement to "restore" Anderson's car included engine repairs; after Anderson authorized additional engine work without confirming the price, and final costs reached $9,800, the magistrate found no actual contract existed and instead awarded Schwegel $4,800 in quasi-contract, based on the reasonable value of services including a 20% markup Schwegel charged.
IssueFree
Whether the aggrieved party in a quasi-contract action is entitled to recover the amount of enrichment that would be unjust for the other party to retain.
