Benfield provided reinsurance brokerage services, but its services were terminated, and it was replaced by Aon. Benfield sued Aon, contending that Aon had wrongfully collected and retained commissions that should have been paid to it. Benfield alleged five claims: tortious interference with contract; tortious interference with prospective business relations; unjust enrichment; conversion; and unfair competition. On a motion to dismiss, the court dismissed all of the claims except those for unjust enrichment and conversion. Benfield, Inc. v. Aon Re, Inc., Case No. 07-2218 (USDC D. Minn. Jan. 8, 2008).
