Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Equitable Remedies/Unjust Enrichment

Sounds like you need to file a lawsuit against the person that you loaned the money to. Was there a written loan agreement or promissory note/IOU?

Do you have a paper trail showing that you loaned the money? How much is at stake.

You should determine the answers to all of these questions. Depending on the amounts involved you should probably get an attorney to represent you.

sue them for the money.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: Equitable Remedies/Unjust Enrichment

A lawsuit should be filed for breach of oral contract. It is possible that a pre judgment attachment of the defendants assets could be used.

We will need to know all facts and proof for your claim.

Re: Equitable Remedies/Unjust Enrichment

This sounds like a straightforward breach of contract case. Equitable remedies are not part of contract law, so theories like unjust enrichment won't get you anywhere -- unless, perhaps, you can also show fraud.

If you had a contract and the other side breached -- and you have not let the statute of limitations expire or otherwise compromised your position -- you can sue for breach of the contract. Since your question involves some more exotic remedies, my guess is that you believe there is some reason why a breach of contract case won't work. If that is the case and if there has been no fraud or other wrongful conduct beyond the breach itself, then there is probably nothing you can do.
