P1449 A quantum meruit claimant must show that his/her services were rendered at the request of the person to be charged, so an attorney who entered into a fee-sharing agreement with another attorney without providing notice to the client or obtaining the client's consent may have quantum meruit recourse against the other attorney, but not against the client.CitationSTRONG v BEYDOUN (Fee Sharing) 166 CA4 1398 [See: Rules of PC 2-200; Chambers v Kay 29 C4 142, P/AT 1/03; Huskinson & Brown v Wolf 32 C4 453, P/AT 3/04]
