Does the court have jurisdiction to summarily adjudicate the unfair business practices claim?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Hooked Media Grp., Inc. v. Apple Inc., 269 Cal.Rptr.3d 406, 55 Cal.App.5th 323 (Cal. App. 2020):

practice. ( Reeves v. Hanlon, supra , 33 Cal.4th at p. 1151, 17 Cal.Rptr.3d 289, 95 P.3d 513.) The trial court was correct to summarily adjudicate the unfair business practices claim.
Hooked's complaint includes a cause of action entitled unjust enrichment. Summary adjudication of that claim was proper because California does not recognize a cause of action for unjust enrichment. ( Melchior v. New Line Productions, Inc. (2003) 106 Cal.App.4th 779, 793, 131 Cal.Rptr.2d 347 [the phrase "unjust enrichment" does not describe a theory of recovery; it is a general principle underlying various legal doctrines and remedies].)
