Dear colleagues,

If I may draw upon the group's collective knowledge, is anyone aware of quasi-contract / unjust enrichment case authority involving a situation like the following?:

Defendant purchased 1,000 widgets from Plaintiff widget-manufacturer and kept them stored with P, withdrawing portions of its stored entitlement over time. Due to an error in P's bookkeeping, P mistakenly allowed D to withdraw a total of 1,250 widgets. P later sues for payment over the extra 250 widgets. 

Many thanks!

Sam
