                                 RESTITUTION





       PART  I. THE RIGHT   TO  RESTITUTION (QUASI CONTRACTS AND KINDRED
                                   EQUITABLE RELIEF)

                         CHAPTER 1.   INTRODUCTORY MATTERS

                           TOPIC   1. UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES

§ 1. Unjust Enrichment

D.Colo.2016. Cit. in case quot. in sup. Employee of limited-liability company brought a claim sounding
in unjust enrichment against company and one of its members, alleging that he contributed client
resources and client-consulting projects to company in reliance on defendants' promise to put in place
an equity model and revenue-distribution system and to reimburse him for his business-related expenses.
This court denied in part defendants' motion for summary judgment, holding that a question of fact
remained as to whether defendants' conduct constituted bad faith for purposes of plaintiff s unjust-
enrichment claim. The court noted that, under Restatement of Restitution § 1, unjust enrichment was a
form of contract, or quasi-contract, implied by law that did not rely upon a promise between parties;
rather, it was a form a restitution designed to restore a plaintiff to his or her prior status. Walshe v.
Zabors, 178 F.Supp.3d 1071, 1087.

M.D.Tenn.2016.  Cit. in sup. Homeowners filed a class action against distributor of toilet connectors,
alleging that defendant distributed defective connectors that caused leaks and water damage to their
homes. This court granted defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claim for unjust enrichment, holding
that the complaint did not include any allegations that plaintiffs purchased the connectors directly from
defendant, such that plaintiffs could be said to have conferred a benefit on defendant, as required to state
a claim for restitution under Restatement of Restitution § 1 and Restatement Third of Restitution and
Unjust Enrichment § 1. The court noted that the connectors could have been purchased by third parties
on plaintiffs' behalf or that the connectors could have already been installed when plaintiffs purchased
their homes. Ajose v. Interline Brands, Inc., 187 F.Supp.3d 899, 913.



     PART   II. CONSTRUCTIVE TRUSTS AND ANALOGOUS EQUITABLE REMEDIES

               CHAPTER 13. FOLLOWING PROPERTY INTO ITS PRODUCT

§ 211. Effect of Withdrawals from Mingled Fund

E.D.N.Y.2016. Com.  (a) cit. in disc., quot. in disc. (erron. cit. as com. (1)). Securities and Exchange
Commission  initiated an action against investment-fund manager and two offshore funds that manager
was discovered to have operated as part of a Ponzi scheme, seeking disgorgement and civil penalties.
After the funds were placed into a receivership, receiver for the funds partially denied investors' claim
