Description
The issue in this case is whether a party who has breached an express contract may nevertheless recover under a theory of quantum meruit. Petitioner Jack Truly performed certain services as specified in a joint venture agreement. He later breached the joint venture agreement by refusing to assume personal liability for joint venture debts. Truly brought suit against Respondents James Austin and Gearld Clark, his co-joint venturers, for the services he rendered pursuant to the agreement. Based on a jury verdict, the trial court rendered judgment in favor of Truly. The court of appeals reversed that judgment and remanded the cause with instructions. 721 S.W.2d 913. We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
