1976(Restatement of Restitution § 160, comment d (1937).) To raise a constructive trust there must be proof of fraud or that advantage was taken of a "fiduciary" or "confidential" relationship. ( Perry v. Wyeth, 25 Ill.2d 250 , 184 N.E.2d 861 (1962).) To establish fraud there must exist allegations and proof that a party knowingly or intentionally made an untrue statement of fact for the purpose of inducing the other party to act and the other party rightfully believed and acted upon that statement to his detriment.

Thus, the Statute of Frauds is not a valid legal defense to a request for the imposition of a constructive trust. • 4-6 A constructive trust is a restitutionary remedy to restore to a plaintiff property of which he has been unjustly deprived and to take from the defendant property which, if retained, would unjustly enrich him.

1951The specific rule of law and procedure advanced by plaintiff in error in support of his contentions is best summarized in People v. Jameson, 387 Ill. 367 , as follows: “The rule has often been announced in this State that permission to change a plea of guilty to one of not guilty is a matter within the discretion of the trial court and this discretion will not ordinarily be disturbed unless it appears that the plea of guilty was entered on a misapprehension of the facts or of law, or in consequence of misrepresentation by counsel or the State’s Attorney or someone else in authority, or the cas

American Surety Co., 261 Ill. 594 .

1899It would seem from the quotations we have made from Wilson v.

1876But even if it was true the plaintiff, by instituting suit against two of the makers of the bond as a joint obligation, and obtaining judgment against one, could only proceed in equity to obtain satisfaction from the estate of the deceased, yet, under the authority of Moore v.
