Heading: Count 4: Unjust Enrichment

Text: In order to state a claim for unjust enrichment, a plaintiff must allege both that defendant received a benefit and that retention of that benefit ... would be unjust. Cameco, Inc. v. Gedicke, 299 N.J.Super. 203, 218, 690 A.2d 1051 (App.Div.1997). While Plaintiff correctly observes that a benefit conferred need not mirror the actual loss of the plaintiff, In re K-Dur Antitrust Litig., 338 F.Supp.2d 517, 544 (D.N.J.2004) (citation omitted), in this case Plaintiff does not purport to have given anything at all to Defendants. In the absence of a benefit conferred, there can be no claim for unjust enrichment, and Count 4 will be dismissed.
