Consumer Credit Regulation: 7.8.4.4.1 Requirement of no adequate remedy at law
Many jurisdictions require a plaintiff who seeks restitution in equity for unjust enrichment to demonstrate that no adequate remedy at law exists. This is a tenet of the law of equity in general,863 though it may be fading as time passes. Claims for unjust enrichment, restitution, or money had and received based on illegitimate fees have fallen afoul of this rule in some jurisdictions.864
