THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANT WAS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO ALLOW AN UNJUST ENRICHMENT ACTION, DEFENDANT’S ACTIONS COULD NOT HAVE CAUSED PLAINTIFF’S RELIANCE OR INDUCEMENT (SECOND DEPT

The Second Department determined the relationship between plaintiff and defendant (Trovato) was not close enough to allow an unjust enrichment suit. Plaintiff had paid for shares in a corporation which were later sold to defendant. Plaintiff alleged the price paid by defendant was reduced by the amount plaintiff had already paid:

To recover for unjust enrichment, a plaintiff must show that (1) the defendant was enriched, (2) at the plaintiff’s expense, and (3) that it is against equity and good conscience to permit the defendant to retain what is sought to be recovered… . “Although privity is not required for an unjust enrichment claim, a claim will not be supported if the connection between the parties is too attenuated” … . The relationship must be one that could have caused reliance or inducement … . Here, the defendant established her prima facie entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by demonstrating that the plaintiff and Trovato did not have a relationship that could have caused reliance or inducement on the plaintiff’s part. Crescimanni v Trovato, 2018 NY Slip Op 04529, Second Dept 6-20-28
