The following excerpt is from Interville Development Limited Partnership v The Owners, Strata Plan BCS2313, 2017 BCSC 1947 (CanLII):
The essential elements of cause of action for unjust enrichment are well-known, and are set out in Garland v. Consumers’ Gas Co., 2004 SCC 25, at para. 30. The elements are: (a) an enrichment of the defendant; (b) a corresponding deprivation of the plaintiff; and (c) an absence of juristic reason for the enrichment. However, in my opinion, Interville has failed to plead the facts necessary to state such a claim. No doubt, such facts could be pleaded. However, until the material facts are sufficiently pleaded, no reasonable claim for unjust enrichment has been stated.
