Syllabus

SUMMARY JUDGMENT – INSURANCE – ASSIGNMENT – BREACH OF CONTRACT – UNJUST ENRICHMENT: The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to defendant automobile insurer on plaintiff auto body shop's breach-of-contract claim because the purported assignment obtained by plaintiff was invalid where the insurance policies contained clear anti-assignment language, the assignment would have materially changed the insurer's obligations under the policies, and the assignment would have promoted litigation. The trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to defendant automobile insurer on plaintiff auto body shop's unjust-enrichment claim because the plaintiff did not demonstrate that it conferred a benefit upon the defendant.
