Generally
C.A.1, 2020. Cit. generally in case cit. in disc. and in ftn. Assignee of home-equity line that burdened
real property jointly owned by mother, father, and trustee sued trustee, seeking, inter alia, to impose an
equitable lien on the real property, because defendant was unjustly enriched when she invalidated the
home-equity line through the proceeds of a property sale obtained before the probate court. The district
court granted in part plaintiff's motion for summary judgment. This court reversed and remanded,
holding that the district court erred in imposing an equitable lien on the real property, because no
transactional nexus existed between the burdened real property and the events of this instant action. The
court noted that it looked to the Restatement Third of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment to analyze
whether Massachusetts law supported the grant of an equitable lien when no owner of defendant's real
property agreed to encumber the property and the proceeds of the transaction did not benefit the property
or its true owners, reasoning that there was no precedent on this issue from the Massachusetts Supreme
Court and Massachusetts often cited the Restatement to resolve similar issues. Wilmington Savings
Fund Society, FSB v. Collart, 980 F.3d 210, 215.
PART I. INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER 1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
§ 1. Restitution and Unjust Enrichment
C.A.11, 2021. Com. (a) cit. and quot. in sup. Seller of flooring resin sued manufacturer, alleging, inter
alia, that defendant breached the parties' settlement agreement when it sold and marketed flooring resin
without plaintiff's permission. The district court entered judgment on a jury verdict for plaintiff. This
court vacated and remanded, holding that, although the record supported a jury finding that plaintiff was
entitled to nominal damages for defendant's breach of the parties' settlement agreement, plaintiff failed
as a matter of law to prove it was entitled to actual damages or restitution due to defendant's breach. The
court relied on Restatement Third of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment § 1, Comment a, in defining
restitution, and explained that restitution in the form of disgorgement was inappropriate in this instant
action, because Georgia law did not seem to permit disgorgement for claims sounding in contract.
AcryliCon USA, LLC v. Silikal GmbH, 985 F.3d 1350, 1368.
D.Ariz.2020. Com. (a) cit. in sup. The Federal Trade Commission sued, among others, independent-
sales organization, alleging that defendant facilitated a fraudulent credit-card laundering scheme, and
seeking disgorgement in the amount of the total credit-card transactions run through defendant and other
participants in the scheme, minus credit-card chargebacks. This court denied defendant's motion for
summary judgment and held that plaintiff's disgorgement award was limited to defendant's net profits.
Citing Restatement Third of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment §§ 1 and 51, the court observed that
plaintiff's requested remedies constituted restitution as well as disgorgement, and pointed out that
