California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 9 — Contractors, Article 10 — Home Improvement Business, Section 7167
(a) Any contract, the primary purpose of which is the construction of a swimming pool, that does not substantially comply with paragraph (4) or (5) of subdivision (c) or paragraph (7), (8), or (9) of subdivision (d) of Section 7159, shall be void and unenforceable by the contractor as contrary to public policy.
(b) Failure by the contractor to comply with paragraph (5) of subdivision (c) of Section 7159 as set forth in subdivision (a) of this section does not preclude the recovery of compensation for work performed based on quasi-contract, quantum meruit, restitution, or other similar legal or equitable remedies designed to prevent unjust enrichment.
Notes
Bars a contractor from enforcing a swimming-pool construction contract that fails to substantially comply with the specified home-improvement-contract requirements, making it void and unenforceable as contrary to public policy. Allows recovery for work performed through quasi-contract, quantum meruit, restitution, or similar unjust-enrichment remedies when the noncompliance is limited to the specifically referenced requirement.
