Re:	Quantum meruit - sed quantum meruisti?

A nice decision of Jacob J on how you quantify a quantum meruit claim. Software developers want to crash the Japanese market; they provisionally agree with a Japanese concern for the provision of help. But no contract re scale of remuneration. The Japanese do a certain amount of work making software Nippon-friendly, and then software house unexpectedly get the big break with Hitachi. Software house is happy to pay for work actually done at the usual rates; Japanese want a share in the success of the big break. Jacob J decides for the Japanese concern - though as regards the actual amount, he says this all depends, & recommends a first class mediator (!).

See Vedatech v Crystal Decisions [2002] EWHC 818 (Ch), ChD 21.v.02.
