Restitution | Contract Law | Consideration Substitutes

This lesson covers restitution. It addresses two doctrines that fall under the heading of restitution: (1) quasi-contract/implied-in-law contract, and (2) promissory restitution (aka the material benefit rule). Restitution provides another avenue for a plaintiff to seek a recovery in the absence of a legally enforceable promise.
Indeed, a quasi-contract recovery does not even require a promise. It is rooted in unjust enrichment - that the plaintiff has bestowed a benefit on the defendant and it would be unjust for the defendant to retain that benefit without compensating the plaintiff for it.

You have to first contact to use that argument you can’t just take it the flip it and want a bunch of money that’s deceptive

All lies and a planned setup! The stress was caused by the harassment and intimidation and no assistance. Trying to say it was anything else is false.

To lie and 5150 someone you harassed just to steal property is a lie. I was never a threat I was definitely harassed. I would never take anyones property and I would communicate and tell someone what’s happening. . I was never given communication, informed anything, I was simply X out. I would pay people I would have to know to make any type of decisions.

Sounds more like a meddler if you didn’t communicate
