Recovering unjust enrichment for tourism services never rendered

Print
In brief

Recovering funds from an individual entrepreneur providing tourism services.

Background

After receiving a bank transfer, the individual entrepreneur avoided signing a services agreement, provided nothing in return, and refused to return the funds received.

Opposing position

The individual entrepreneur categorically denied that any contractual obligation to provide tourism services had arisen, citing the absence of a document signed by both parties, and refused to return the funds.

Our position and key arguments

We carried out a comprehensive legal review, building an evidentiary case confirming the transfer of funds and the existence of an actual relationship between the parties.  We prepared and filed a claim with interest calculated under Art. 395 of the Civil Code.

Outcome

The claim was accepted by the court and a hearing has been scheduled.

Why it matters

The project helps establish case law proving an implied factual relationship between a consumer and a business exists even without a properly executed written contract, preventing bad-faith enrichment.

Applies to

Recovering funds for services never rendered; unjust enrichment; proving a relationship existed without a signed document; calculating interest under Art. 395 of the Civil Code.
