Mollinedo's home was damaged by fire. Her insurance company, Sentry, recommended ServiceMaster as a good repair company. An adjuster for Sentry visited the home with the home contractor from ServiceMaster and approved $30,000 worth of work, which Service Master did with Mollinedo's approval. Sentry was suspicious about the origins of the fire and gave the payment of $30,000 to Mollinedo's mortgage company. Mollinedo filed for bankruptcy.
ServiceMaster, which got nothing, sued Sentry for breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Did ServiceMaster, which never filed a lien, have a claim? [Service-Master of St. Cloud v. GAB Business Services, 544 N.W.2d 302 Sup. Ct., Minn. (1996)]
