Unjust enrichment claims generally focus on whether a defendant retained a benefit that should be restored. In fraud settings, they may run alongside deceit, conversion or other causes of action.
Clear proof of the benefit’s path—who was paid, when and through which accounts—remains essential. Enrichment theories still need defendants and assets.
Defenses and limitation rules can differ from pure fraud claims. Early counsel review should map alternative pleadings without multiplying cost unnecessarily.
Do not assume unjust enrichment guarantees easier recovery. It is a framing tool, not a substitute for evidence and enforceable targets.
