Enrichment by Wrongful Act

Enrichment by wrongful act refers to a situation where someone gains a benefit at the expense of another person, often through improper means or actions. In the context of unjust enrichment, it occurs when one party wrongfully obtains money or property, while the other party suffers a loss. The law seeks to prevent unfair situations where one person profits unjustly from the actions of another, allowing the harmed party to claim compensation or recovery of their loss. Essentially, it ensures that people do not benefit unfairly from wrongful actions.
