CONTRACTS
11-2-5525 Paystaffing LLC v. Hors D’Oeuvres Unlimited, App. Div. (per curiam) (11 pp.) Plaintiff appealed from the Law Division order granting summary judgment to defendant in this action alleging that HDU owed $236,745.56 in fees pursuant to a contract under which plaintiff supplied employees to HDU and asserting claims for, inter alia, open book account, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. The panel affirmed, finding that plaintiff was barred from brining or maintaining the action because it did not meet the Private Employment Agency Act’s registration requirements at the time its alleged cause of action arose and no exemption from the act’s requirements was applicable where plaintiff charged a “fee” in connection with its employment of the employees it supplied to HDU, i.e., the difference between the amount of money it received from HDU and the amount it paid the employees it supplied, and the contract between plaintiff and HDU clearly prohibited plaintiff’s employees from becoming employed by HDU.
