Unmarried cohabitation; unjust enrichment
Richard Lynn appeals a judgment determining damages owed to Elizabeth Leonard for unjust enrichment. The judgment followed after Richard stipulated that he was unjustly enriched during a period of cohabitation with Elizabeth. The court awarded Elizabeth one-half of the assets accumulated through a joint enterprise during the cohabitation and, additionally, the court awarded Elizabeth prejudgment interest on her share of the assets. Richard appeals both the division of the assets and the interest award. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
