Midwest Lodging, LLC, and Montgomery Bank, N.A., and Shrinay Construction, LLC Missouri Cases

Almat Builders and Remodeling, Inc. appealed the circuit court's entry of summary judgment in favor of Midwest Lodging, LLC and Montgomery Bank, N.A., concerning a mechanics' lien and a quantum meruit claim arising from hotel construction work. The appellate court affirmed the summary judgment on the mechanics' lien, concluding Almat's lien statement was not a "just and true account" due to its failure to credit for uncompleted work. However, the court reversed the summary judgment on the quantum meruit claim, finding the defendants' arguments insufficient to negate the claim and the record lacking proof of full payment to prevent unjust enrichment. The quantum meruit claim was remanded for further proceedings.
