Max Sneyd and Katherine Cser obtained summary disposition in a breach of contract and unjust enrichment case in favor their client, a local snack foods company.
The client terminated its distributorship agreement with the plaintiff, an independent contractor, after the client learned that the plaintiff had removed goods from the client’s warehouse without paying for them and had subsequently attempted to sell the goods under a different item number to avoid detection. The plaintiff independent contractor sued the client, claiming that the defendant had wrongfully taken away the plaintiff’s rights to distribute the defendant’s products. Mr. Sneyd and Ms. Cser successfully argued for dismissal of the plaintiff’s case on the grounds that the undisputed actions of the plaintiff were grounds for termination of the distributorship agreement, and the plaintiff failed to present a triable issue. Judge Edward Ewell, Jr. of the Wayne County Circuit Court issued a written opinion in favor of Kerr Russell’s client on April 20, 2017.
