Orlando v. Liburd

Summary

The court held that the plaintiff’s unjust enrichment claim against the insurer was ripe before he obtained a judgment against the alleged tortfeasor because the insurer’s premature subrogation allegedly violated the plaintiff’s established priority to limited liability proceeds. The court also held that the plaintiff had standing because he alleged a specific legal interest in those proceeds and a possibility that the insurer’s recovery adversely affected that interest. The court reversed the Appellate Court and remanded for further proceedings.
