Law of Restitution

The Law of Restitution is a legal principle that aims to restore a person to the position they were in before a wrongful act occurred. It focuses on compensating individuals for losses or detriment they suffered due to another person's actions. In simple terms, if someone benefits unfairly at another's expense, restitution requires that they return that benefit or compensate the affected party. This ensures fairness and helps prevent unjust enrichment, where one person gains at the expense of another without proper compensation.
