DOCTRINE OF UNJUST ENRICHMENT AND JUDICIAL TRENDS IN INDIA

Dr. Saroj Saini

Abstract :

 The doctrine of unjust enrichment was originally based in English law upon the principle of assumpsit or ‘had and received’, and was declared by Lord Mansfield in a famous case, that the gist of this kind of action is, that the defendant, upon the circumstances of the case, is obliged by the ties of natural justice and equity to refund the money. The doctrine of unjust enrichment states that a person who has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the other is required to reimburse the other party to the extent of the enrichment. Thus, the researcher, in this paper has analysed the doctrine of unjust enrichment in context of Indian scenario and focused on the trends of the courts in India and their response to the enrichment claimed by the claimant.
