The Commercial Court dismissed RMK’s quantum meruit claim, holding the Advisory Agreement covered the work and barred restitution for extra payment.
The appeal fails because the judge's findings of fact established that the appellant did not expect to be paid for the works carried out at Trigfan, and the second respondent did not know or should not have known of any such expectation. There was no unjust enrichment as the requirements of free acceptance were not met, and no evidence was provided of any uplift in the property's value resulting from the works. The judge did not err in law or fact in dismissing the claim.
