California Court of Appeal

Petition for writ of mandate seeking to vacate an order striking petitioner's claim for jury trial on his claims for quantum meruit and unjust enrichment related to an international business enterprise is granted where the trial court erred because quantum meruit is an action at law, and thus carries with it the right to a jury trial.
