With the Assistance of a Uijeongbu Attorney | Winning a Suit for the Return of Unjust Enrichment Against a Local Government That Occupied the Land

The client had land inherited from deceased parents.

However, because that land was close to a vacant lot, the client had not decided how to use it, and several years passed.

One day, the client belatedly learned that a local government had paved the land and was occupying it as a park for citizens.

The client then came to a Uijeongbu attorney to claim unjust enrichment from the local government that had unfairly occupied and used the land.

As in the client's case, if a person has obtained another's property or goods and gained a financial benefit, a suit for the return of unjust enrichment may be filed to claim its return.

However, an unfair method is not necessarily limited to unlawful conduct when determining unjust enrichment, so the range of matters for which the return of unjust enrichment may be claimed is very broad.

For this very reason, when calculating the amount of unjust enrichment for a return claim, it is necessary to secure objective and persuasive materials and to claim an amount that has legal validity.

Because the materials and evidence that must be secured when pursuing a suit for the return of unjust enrichment are extensive, and the procedures for proving unjust enrichment are complex, the assistance of an attorney experienced in related cases is important.

The relevant statute is as follows.

The client had inherited and owned the land from the time the parents passed away, and the client also had materials that could prove this fact.

The Uijeongbu attorney submitted evidence proving that the land used as a park was owned by the client, and emphasized that the local government should return the unjust enrichment.

The defendant local government claimed that, when it created the park, it had given notice to and obtained consent from the client.

However, the client had never once received such notice or given consent, and had also never heard of any such thing from the parents.

The Uijeongbu attorney emphasized that the defendant's claim lacked persuasiveness and argued that the amount of unjust enrichment should be returned.

As in the client's case, if another person has unfairly acquired property or gained a benefit, civil liability may be pursued to require its return.

In addition, if loss was caused to the other party in the course of obtaining the unjust enrichment, a 🔗damages lawsuit may also be filed together.
