Breach of Contract Law
Unjust Enrichment
A legal principle preventing a person from unfairly retaining a benefit received at another's expense, without adequate legal justification.
Where a person has received money, property, or a benefit that in fairness belongs to someone else — often due to a mistake, or a contract that turned out to be void — the law generally requires them to return or compensate for that benefit.
This principle underlies remedies in a range of situations, from mistaken payments to benefits received under agreements that later fail.
