Missoula County v. DOC

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment for the Department of Corrections on the County’s contract, implied-covenant, and unjust-enrichment claims. It held that the one-year limitations period for claims arising from express contracts with the State applied to the interlocal agreement, that the parties’ governmental relationship did not constitute a special relationship supporting tort damages, and that unjust enrichment was unavailable because a valid contract governed the parties’ obligations and the County had not shown an inequitable gain.
