Hall v. Lewis
Plaintiff Christopher Hall and defendant Ben Lewis are former domestic partners (though they never registered as such). After their breakup in 2006, Hall filed this civil suit against Lewis seeking damages, restitution and an equitable lien against a two-unit residential building to which Lewis held title. The case was tried before the court, which determined that Hall did not have an ownership interest in the real property, but was entitled recover $22,400 for time he spent assisting in renovations to the property. Lewis appeals from the judgment, arguing, among other things, that it was based on an erroneous legal theory of unjust enrichment. Court agree and reverse.
