RESTITUTION AND UNJUST ENRICHMENT 3D
Generally
C.A.10, 2023. Cit. in sup. Lessee sued landlord, seeking, among other things, restitution for
overpayments that lessee made to landlord due to lessee's mistake in failing to deduct construction costs
from rent payments in accordance with the terms of the parties' lease agreement. The district court
granted landlord's motion for summary judgment. This court reversed, holding that, under Wyoming
law and the Restatement Third of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment, the Wyoming Supreme Court
would likely permit restitution for rent overpayments mistakenly made by lessee. Safeway Stores 46 Inc.
v. WY Plaza LC, 65 F.4th 474, 483, 484.
D.Or.2022. Cit. generally in sup. Technology-support provider sued former work partner, alleging,
among other things, that defendant was unjustly enriched when it breached an oral agreement to pay
provider half of the commissions it received from a third party for sales made through a computer
platform developed by provider. This court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment, holding
that plaintiff could not recover from defendant in quantum meruit under Restatement Third of
Restitution and Unjust Enrichment, because defendant had compensated plaintiff for its services in
accordance with their written agreement. The court explained that it relied on the Restatement Third of
Restitution by utilizing a case-by-case analysis when considering whether unjust enrichment allegations
fell within an established category under Oregon law. BenefitElect, Inc. v. Strategic Benefit Solutions
Corporation, 614 F.Supp.3d 838, 845.
Ind.App.2023. Cit. generally in law rev. article quot. in sup. Contractor that agreed to build the shell of
a home for developer brought a claim for quantum-meruit damages against developer, after developer
refused to pay for changes requested during construction that required additional labor and materials.
After a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment for plaintiff. This court affirmed, holding, inter alia,
that the trial court did not err in calculating plaintiff's damages based on the value of plaintiff's
additional services and expenditures for construction materials. The court cited Restatement of
Restitution § 1 and the Restatement Third of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment in distinguishing the
theory of quantum meruit from the theory of unjust enrichment, and explained that, here, construing
plaintiff's claim as a claim for quantum meruit was appropriate, because it arose from an implied
