Law of Unjust Enrichment

The Law of Unjust Enrichment prevents one person from unfairly benefiting at another’s expense without a valid reason. It applies when someone receives a benefit, such as goods or money, in circumstances where it would be unjust for them to keep it, especially if they did not pay for it or the benefit was obtained through mistake or unfair conduct. The law typically requires the enriched party to pay back or compensate the other to restore fairness and prevent unjust advantage.
