Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 865 de 1605
The remedy of 'restitution' in contract law is designed to:
a.Award the plaintiff's attorney fees automatically
b.Restore to a party any benefit unjustly conferred on the other, preventing unjust enrichment
c.Punish the breaching party with a fine
d.Force completion of the project
Explicación
Restitution aims to prevent unjust enrichment by requiring a party who has received a benefit to return it, or its value, to the party who conferred it, restoring the status quo. For example, an owner who received partial work without paying may owe its reasonable value. Restitution is compensatory and equitable, not punitive; it does not automatically award attorney fees and does not compel completion, which is the separate remedy of specific performance.
