142575P.pdf 06/11/2015 Jerry Friedman v. Kelly Farmer
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-2575
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Contracts. Assuming that the situation in this case would
meet an exception to the prohibition of unjust enrichment in contract
cases because the oral contract could no longer be completed, there is no
evidence the Farmers received money or its equivalent in an unjust
fashion; nor was there any evidence that they acted outside the scope of
their employment with defendant Arkat; plaintiff abandoned a piece of
equipment at Arkat's plant and abandonment is a complete defense to
plaintiff's claim the equipment was improperly converted; no error in
denying motion to amend complaint on the ground amendment would be futile
