                               RESTITUTION 2D



  Work  on the Restatement Second of Restitution was suspended after the publication of two Tentative
                                     Drafts in 1983 and 1984.



                CHAPTER 1. UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES OF RESTITUTION

§ 1. The General Principle: Unjust Enrichment

D.Md.2019.  Quot. in case quot. in sup. (citing § 1 of T.D. No. 1, 1983). Insurer sued insurance broker,
alleging, among other things, that broker breached the exclusivity clause in the parties' marketing
agreement by negotiating with another insurer, and that broker unjustly enriched itself by accepting and
retaining insurer's services without payment. This court denied broker's motion to dismiss, holding that
insurer plausibly alleged that broker obtained the benefit of insurer's payments while violating its
promises not to compete against insurer under Restatement of Restitution § 1 and Restatement Second
of Restitution § 1. The court rejected broker's argument that insurer's unjust-enrichment claim failed
because insurer was party to an express contract governing the subject matter of that claim, noting that it
would be premature for the court to conclude, prior to discovery, that the agreement would necessarily
govern the subject matter at issue, given that the existence of the agreement was disputed. Transamerica
Premier Life Insurance Company  v. Selman & Company,  LLC,  401 F.Supp.3d 576, 598.
