Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit July 16, 2009, 08-2013 (Trade Finance Partners, LLC v. AAR CORP.)

KANNE, Circuit Judge.

This is a case involving a complex business arrangement and technical terminology, but it presents a remarkably simple question: did the plaintiff company secure a contract on behalf of its client, the defendant company? If so, the plaintiff gets paid; if not, it has earned nothing.
