Pierce v. Staley

Lynn Nelson filed suit against Roy Gish to recover sums due him following termination of their agreement to operate a gravel excavating and rock crushing business. He also sought recovery for unjust enrichment of Gishs real property, as a result of its development for use as a gravel pit. The matter was tried to a jury and a verdict was rendered in favor of Nelson. Gish appeals the judgment entered upon the verdict. The primary issue at trial and on this appeal concerns the right of Nelson to recover both under the partnership contract and for unjust enrichment.
