Texas Supreme Court
J. C. Woodard
December 2, 1964384 S.W.2d 674
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court held that Southwest States could not recover on a quantum meruit claim against J.C. Woodard because an express contract existed between Southwest States and the independent contractor James E. Svalberg, and because Woodard was not liable for the acts of an independent contractor. The Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment for Southwest States against Svalberg and denied any recovery against Woodard.
