Ruling

The court entered judgment based on its September 22, 2022 Opinion and Order. It denied Adaptive’s motion for summary judgment on the breach-of-contract claim and granted DigiValet’s cross-motion on that claim.

The judgment states that DigiValet effectively conceded that its alternative unjust-enrichment claim had to be dismissed if the contract was valid and enforceable. The court therefore dismissed that claim. It entered judgment in DigiValet’s favor on Count One for $272,486 and in Adaptive’s favor on Count Two. The case was closed.

Terminology

Summary judgment is a decision resolving a claim when the court determines that the relevant facts do not require a trial. Unjust enrichment is a claim seeking recovery based on a defendant’s alleged benefit rather than an enforceable contract. The judgment’s text refers to the parties as “Adaptive” and “DigiValet,” while the supplied case name identifies the plaintiff as Paragon Digital Lifestyle Inc. and the defendant as Adaptive Micro-Ware, Inc.
