4. An oral agreement was made between 3 guys to put some money together and open a restaurant. In order to do this they had to first form a joint company. However, one of the guys did not have the money at the time the company was formed and was therefore pushed out of the deal by the other two guys. The man, who was pushed out, sued the other two. The defendants argued the plaintiff had no documentation to support his claim. The court had to decide if the plaintiff's complaint and statement of fact could support a breach of contract claim when no contract seemed to exist. Furthermore. the course considered the idea that quasi-contract could maintain a cause of action that could consist of the theft of ownership opportunity and/or breach of fiduciary duty. How do you think the court decided? Why?
