- High Court
The court held that although contractual payments had been made, there remained room for a contractual‑kind quantum meruit for invoice 136; because experts disagreed on valuation and no other basis for calculation existed, the court adopted a pragmatic midpoint between expert positions and ordered MBNZ to pay KTL $7,876.00 as reasonable compensation.
