Enrichment Without Cause

Enrichment Without Cause refers to a situation where one party benefits or gains something of value without having a legitimate reason or agreement to do so. In legal terms, it typically pertains to scenarios where someone unjustly receives a benefit, such as money or property, at the expense of another, without a contractual basis. The principle aims to prevent unfair gains and allows the party that suffered a loss to seek restitution or compensation, ensuring fairness and accountability in financial or resource exchanges.
