Conditional Misrepresentation

Conditional misrepresentation occurs when one party provides false information that leads another party to act, based on the belief that the information is true. In the context of unjust enrichment, this means that if someone benefits from this misinformation, they may be required to return the gained benefit. Essentially, if one party enriches themselves at the expense of another due to misleading claims or assurances, the law may compel the benefitting party to make restitution, ensuring fairness and preventing unjust gain.
