Home Renovation Service Fails to Establish Claims Against Reality TV Show Producers
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina decided that a company that provided services for the renovation of homes to be featured on the HGTV series Flip It Forward failed to establish breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims against the TV show's producers. Preservation Professional Services LLC (PresPro) v. M2 Pictures LLC, 3:14-cv-589. PresPro claimed it worked on Flip It Forwardafter being promised it would be featured on the series, which was canceled only a few weeks into production. District Judge Robert J. Conrad Jr. noted in part: “Here, even viewing Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint in the light most favorable to the Plaintiffs, this Court finds that the Complaint does not include plausible allegations that Defendants breached the terms of a valid and enforceable contract.'Plaintiffs do not cite to any cases to support their contentions nor point to specific factual allegations in the Amended Complaint to demonstrate that such a contract was created between the parties.”
