Hyett's Corner, LLC v. Pearce & Moretto, Inc.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed most of the Superior Court’s judgment in a construction-contract dispute but reversed the calculation of one component of Hyett’s Corner’s damages award. The Court held that the contract included spreadsheets authorizing burial of excess topsoil in borrow pits, defeating the conversion and trover claims, and that any error concerning the mechanic’s-lien terminology was harmless because the same award was supported by other claims. The Court remanded for recalculation of the seeding and mulching award using the correct area and unit price.
