The following excerpt is from Nelson v. Nevel, 154 Cal.App.3d 132, 201 Cal.Rptr. 93 (Cal. App. 1984):

5 In Omer v. Omer, supra, 11 Wash.App. 386, 391 [523 P.2d 957, 961], absent a finding of fraud or misrepresentation, the court applied a constructive trust where a clear element of unconscionability was evident and where defendant would be unjustly enriched.
