Andrieu v. Aquantia Corp. CA6
Plaintiff Jean Baptiste de Saint Andrieu, a technical recruiter, filed a verified complaint against defendant Aquantia Corporation (Aquantia) seeking to recover in quantum meruit for his presentation of a team of prospective employees (the Eindhoven team) to Aquantia, which hired them. The complaint also sought damages for alleged concealment by Aquantia. It contained three causes of action: (1) common count (implied-in-law contract to pay for services rendered); (2) common count (implied-in-law contract to pay for benefits mistakenly conferred); and (3) concealment (intentional failure to disclose facts). The trial court granted Aquantia’s motion for summary judgment based on its affirmative defenses of waiver and estoppel after determining that plaintiff had failed to raise a triable issue of material fact.
