Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Dec 20, 2022
Square Up Builders, LLC, Respondent, vs. Crystal Window & Door Systems, Ltd., Appellant.
Crystal Window & Door Systems, Ltd. appealed the trial court's award of attorney's fees to Square Up Builders, LLC, which arose from a breach of contract and warranty dispute over windows. Crystal Window argued that Square Up's motion for fees did not cite an applicable contractual provision. The appellate court affirmed the award, holding that a specific provision in the Purchase Order authorized the fees and Square Up had properly pleaded for them in its original petition, providing sufficient notice despite referencing a different provision in its motion.
