Is there any case law or case law supporting a finding of unjust enrichment?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Xie v Lai, 2022 BCSC 495 (CanLII):

As noted in Harraway v. Harraway, 2009 BCCA 561 at para. 46, even if the parties intended to treat various transfers or payments to third parties as loans, the evidence is insufficient to avoid a finding of unjust enrichment because there is no valid and enforceable contract. There is therefore no juristic reason to justify the enrichment in any event.
