Benedetti v Sawiris [2013] UKSC 50 is an English unjust enrichment law case, concerning the method for determining the amount of a quantum meruit claim.
Mr Benedetti wrote back that he was surprised, and "that in our venture i was a partner not a shity middle man" [sic].
Patten J in the High Court held[2] that Benedetti ought to receive €75.1 million on a quantum meruit, taking into account the rejected offer.
The acquisition agreement was disregarded since it was abandoned, and Benedetti was ordered to pay costs on a standard basis, and interest was declined.
Benedetti appealed asking the Acquisition Agreement to be taken into account, that the offer should not have been, and asking whether there should be a brokerage fee deduction, OS Holding’s liability, the costs and interest decisions.
