What are the elements of a cause of action for money had and received?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gutierrez v. Girardi, B226614 (Cal. App. 2011):
The appellate courts have not used the terms "causation" and "damages" to describe the elements of a cause of action for money had and received. In Schultz v. Harney (1994) 27 Cal.App.4th 1611, 1623, we stated: "A cause of action is stated for money had and received if the defendant is indebted to the plaintiff in a certain sum 'for money had and received by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff.'
