Jared Covit's Frivolous cause of action #3 dismissed...
"The Plaintiffs' third cause of action for unjust enrichment is also dismissed pursuant to CPLR32ll (a)(1)," rules the Court.
An action for unjust enrichment requires the proof "that (l) the other party was enriched, (2) at the plaintiff's expense, and (3) that it is against equity and good conscience to permit the other party to retain what is sought to be recovered."
In one paragraph, the Court dismisses and discards the idea that Jared Covit and Lauren Rich were a victim. The brevity of the dismissal goes to the root of how malicious and frivolous the claim was in the first place. To be the recipient of an asset that grows in value by 50% in 24 months that you were somehow victimized can only be the conclusion of worst type of inward-looking millennial stereotype.
Choose a public venue like the courts to address your problems with a goal to embarrass your building partner, be prepared for a public response. Or as Kathy said, play around, find out.
For discovery and production on the one remaining lame cause of action, we produced all the documents related to building Jared Covit's home. As I was searching and printing, it became self-evident how accommodating we are.
The pile on the right is all the times we said 'yes'. The pile on the left is when we had to audacity to say 'no'.
Impressively, we are now the first result in Jared Covit's online profile, after 36 hours. I don't easily impress myself much anymore, but this one raised my eyebrows.
