Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Feb 25, 2020
Newell Machinery Co., Inc. vs. Pro Circuit, Inc.
Newell Machinery Co., Inc. sued its subcontractor, Pro Circuit, Inc., for unjust enrichment after paying a mechanics' lien under protest. The circuit court ruled for Newell on unjust enrichment but denied prejudgment interest and found for Pro Circuit on Newell's "Delay Claim." On appeal, the Western District affirmed the unjust enrichment judgment and the ruling on the Delay Claim, but reversed the denial of prejudgment interest, amending the judgment to include it and correcting a statutory citation.
