Court properly dismissed real estate buyer's suit to attempt to rescue property from loss at tax sale. Unjust enrichment is not available remedy as a written contract governed payment of taxes, and declaratory judgment claim cannot stand as contract absolved seller of responsibility for expenses related to delinquent property taxes.(HOFFMAN and CUNNINGHAM, concurring.)
