Unjust enrichment is a legal concept that refers to situations in which a person is enriched at the expense of another in circumstances which are legally deemed to be unjust. When someone is unjustly enriched, the law imposes a duty upon the recipient to make restitution. For example, if an employee is mistakenly paid too much in their paycheck, they have the legal obligation to make repayment of the excess to their employer.
