2026(De Havilland, supra, at p. 870 .) Nor can plaintiff avoid this roadblock by recasting his unjust enrichment claim as a quasi-contract claim. “[A]s a matter of law, a quasi- contract action for unjust enrichment does not lie where, as here, express binding agreements exist and define the parties’ rights. [Citations.] ‘When parties have an actual contract covering a subject, a court cannot—not even under the guise of equity jurisprudence—substitute the court’s own concepts of fairness regarding that subject in place of the parties’ own contract.’ 27 [Citation.]” (California Medical Assn. v.

1984(See Elam v. College Park Hospital, supra, 132 Cal.App.3d 332 .) Petitioner asserts the information sought is relevant because “Whether a hospital requires its staff physicians to carry malpractice coverage is part and parcel of its duty of care.” In our view, the question of whether a hospital is negligent in investigating a physician’s background and competence, and in maintaining adequate evaluation procedures, is, at best, only tenuously connected to the question of whether it requires its physicians to carry malpractice insurance.

1982The constitutional measure of that which incriminates is broadly cast. “[T]he privilege forbids compelled disclosures which could serve as a ‘link in a chain’ of evidence tending to establish guilt of a criminal offense . . . .” (Prudhomme v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 320, 326 [ 85 Cal.Rptr. 129 , 466 P.2d 673 ]; see also Blau v. United States (1950) 340 U.S. 159 [ 95 L.Ed. 170 , 71 S.Ct. 223 ]; Kronick v. United States (9th Cir. 1965) 343 F.2d 436 .) The privilege is therefore not limited to the subject matter of the inquiry concerning which the testimony is compelled.
