Eastern Metal Products v. Deperry, No. Cv94 0074098 S (Nov. 8, 1995)
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff, Eastern Metal Products, Inc. is a supplier who supplied doors and related material to a construction site for CT Page 12541-N improvements to the leased premises.
The pleadings do not allege a contract between the plaintiff and the defendant.
The plaintiff seeks to recover of the defendant under a theory of unjust enrichment.
The pleadings indicate that the doors were installed at said site. Further, the pleadings indicate that the defendant's interest in the doors is as a tenant.
The court grants the plaintiff's motion to dismiss on the grounds that in attempting to recover of a defendant who has no contract with a supplier for materials furnished which become part of the realty, now owned by the tenant, under the theory of unjust enrichment, has failed to allege a cause of action recognizable in this jurisdiction.
The motion to dismiss is granted.
