ISS Aviation, Inc., Wyoming, et al. v. Bell Textron, Inc.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, No. 24-10063 · judgment February 5, 2025
Before the decision, modestly above the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Fifth Circuit decision below, counsel with five or more prior petitions here, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
Did the district court misapply Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12 and 56 by ruling that no reasonable jury could find that Bell breached its contract with the plaintiff and failed to act in good faith while fulfilling its duty to support the Representative in promoting the sale of Authorized Products and Services in Guyana during the final months of the parties’ Independent Representative Agreement? Did the court err in ruling that the plaintiffs are not entitled to recover in quantum meruit for the work they performed over six years as Bell’s Independent Representative in Guyana—work that led to multi-milliondollar agreements finalized by Bell in 2020 and 2022?
