MOTEL SERVICES, INC. V. CENTRAL MAINE POWER CO.
394 A.2d 786 (1978)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a judgment entered for D.
FACTS: Motel Services (P) agreed with the Waterville Housing Authority to build two
housing projects on a turnkey basis. Initially the plans called for oil heating but P got
real smart and found out that Central Maine Power Co. (D) was offering a promotional
allowance to install electric heating. P then persuaded Waterville and HUD to consent to
modifications and even offered a price reduction of $16,000. P did not tell them that he was
getting a promotional allowance from D. After the electrical system was installed and before
all the Standards required by D had been complied with, P conveyed the property to
Waterville to avoid tax consequences. The projects were completed and eventually met all of
D's standards. D completed the paper work and inspection from D and D then, not knowing of
the situation, sent the forms and allowance to Waterville. P sued D claiming it was entitled
to the allowance. Judgment was for D and P appealed.
