Core Finance Team Affiliates, LLC v. Maine Medical Center

Summary

The court vacated an unjust-enrichment award to Core and remanded for entry of judgment in favor of the Hospitals. It held that quantum meruit was an available legal theory because the express contract did not cover the OMS services, and that unjust enrichment could not support the award entered here. The award exceeded the proposed contractual fee, improperly measured recovery by the Hospitals’ increased governmental reimbursement, and lacked proof of the market value of Core’s services absent wrongdoing. No separate opinions were filed.
