Black Lake Pipe Line Company, Petitioners v. Union Construction Company, Inc., Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Union Construction and MPD may recover extra work under quantum meruit, but reversed the jury awards for Union's second spread of men and equipment and for Black Lake's failure to furnish pipe, finding those items not extra. The Court also reversed the trial court's admission of summary evidence as inadmissible and remanded for a new trial on the remaining extra work claims, and affirmed the award of prejudgment interest as supported by the pleadings.
