Heading: maine printing as contracting party

Text: The court did not err, however, in concluding that the contractual waiver of subrogation is inapplicable to Maine Printing and thus does not bar the recovery against Cimino for damages incurred by Maine Printing. The contract bound Willis Realty and Cimino. Maine Printing is not named as a party. Although Robert Willis appended the title president after his name, rather than his actual title as a partner in Willis Realty, when signing the contract, the signature line over which Robert Willis signed specifically names Willis Realty as the contracting party. The court correctly concluded that Maine Printing was not a party to the unambiguous contract. [3] The fact that Robert Willis was president of Maine Printing as well as managing partner of Willis Realty does not estop Maine Printing from denying that the waiver of subrogation clause applies to it. See Anderson v. Commissioner of Dept. of Human Servs., 489 A.2d 1094, 1099 (Me. 1985) (estoppel warranted only when misleading conduct of one party induces other party to rely to his detriment).
