Restatement of the Law of Restitution

The Restatement of the Law of Restitution is a collection of legal principles that outline how individuals should be compensated when one party benefits at another's expense without a legal justification. Essentially, it aims to ensure fairness by stating that if someone receives a benefit unfairly—like taking someone's property or getting paid for a service not delivered—they must compensate the affected party. It helps to clarify situations where restitution is appropriate, promoting justice in financial dealings and obligations between people.
