PART I. THE RIGHT TO RESTITUTION - (QUASI CONTRACTS AND KINDRED
EQUITABLE RELIEF)
CHAPTER 2. MISTAKE, INCLUDING FRAUD
TOPIC 2. MISTAKE OF FACT
TITLE A. MONEY PAID BY MISTAKE: IN GENERAL
§ 15. Mistaken Belief in Existence of Contract with Payee
Or.App.2021. Quot. in case quot. in sup. Sister brought, among other things, a rescission claim against
brother, sister-in-law, and niece, alleging that defendants were unjustly enriched when, after receiving
plaintiff's monies pursuant to plaintiff and brother's joint agreement to purchase real property, brother
removed plaintiff from the title of real property without her knowledge or consent. The trial court
granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. This court reversed and remanded, holding that
there was a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants were unjustly enriched when
brother removed plaintiff from the title. Quoting Restatement of Restitution § 15, the court explained
that a reasonable jury could find that an unwritten agreement existed between the parties to pool their
resources to jointly purchase real property, and that plaintiff made a mistake of fact as to the existence of
the agreement when she conveyed funds to brother with the expectation of joint ownership of property.

joint agreement to purchase real property, brother removed plaintiff from the title of real property
without her consent. The trial court granted defendants' motion for summary judgment. This court
reversed and remanded, holding that there was a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the
parties had an oral agreement to pool resources to jointly purchase property. The court observed that
plaintiff could be entitled to recovery in the absence of a formal contract, because, under Restatement of
Restitution § 150, plaintiff could recover monies equaling the amount she paid to defendants if she made
