Unjust Enrichment

"What is the statute of limitations for unjust enrichment?"

Quick Answer

Unjust enrichment occurs when a person retains money or benefits that in justice and equity belong to another, without a valid legal ground. The enriched party must return the benefit.

Scope and Legal Distinctions

Unjust enrichment concerns a benefit obtained without a valid legal basis, subject to its own conditions and defences. It is not a substitute for every failed contractual damages claim.

What to Check in Practice

Trace the payment or benefit, absence of legal basis and recipient's position; review restitution scope and the applicable limitation rules.
