There was no written agreement for this arrangement. Mongo did not see, or decided to ignore, a provision in its subcontract with the general contractor that banned any assignment of the subcontract without prior written approval.At the end of the job, Trigron had large unpaid contract amounts plus claims for extra work. The GC would not accept any demands for payment from Trigron. So far as the general was concerned, Trigron was a stranger. Then, Mongo submitted Trigron's demands under its own name. The general responded that because Mongo did not do any work, it was not entitled to any money. In addition, the work performed by Trigron was under an invalid assignment, as the general had never been asked to approve the arrangement.
