Article 22
ELI5— what this means for you
No one may unjustly enrich themselves at the expense of another. If you receive something at another's expense without just cause, you must return it.
Key point
If someone's bank accidentally deposits money in your account, you must return it — you cannot keep it.
Official text — RA 386
Every person who through an act of performance by another, or any other means, acquires or comes into possession of something at the expense of the latter without just or legal ground, shall return the same to him.
