Quick Answer

A lawsuit to recover money that a debtor was forced to pay during execution proceedings for a debt that they legally did not owe.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

Restitution concerns money paid through enforcement that the payer alleges was not owed. It is distinct from a negative declaratory action brought before payment.

What to Check in Practice
