Unjust enrichment.
Practice point: A plaintiff adequately states a cause of action for unjust enrichment when alleging that, on behalf of the business venture he entered into with defendant to market certain properties, he actively marketed the properties, and commissions were generated and paid to defendant, who ultimately diverted them, depriving plaintiff of his share of the commissions.
