[2019] EWHC 3225 (TCC), Technology and Construction Court, Mr Adam Constable QC, 2 December 2019

Contract – Whether contract entitled claimant to recover a fee based on a percentage of the construction cost – Alternative claim in unjust enrichment

The claimants brought a claim to recover fees which they said had not been paid in connection with a development in Westminster. The defendant denied that it was liable to pay the sum claimed. The claimants put their claim on two principal bases. The first was a claim in contract and the second a claim in unjust enrichment.
