Civil Plenary. Affirms the Tippecanoe Circuit Court’s judgment in favor of Jeffrey DeBoy and JBC Buildings, Inc. against David Bugay and Rolling Maul, LLC, for $139,601.98. Finds the trial court did not err when it declined to decrease DeBoy’s unjust enrichment award based on construction defects because Bugay had settled his defects crossclaim for $150,000 and dismissed that crossclaim with prejudice. Rules the trial court did not err when it refused to award DeBoy monies for disgorgement of profits from Legacy Sports Club.
