What is the quantum of damages for unjust enrichment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from D.E.G. v. C.J.M., 2016 BCSC 1139 (CanLII):
In most cases, however, a monetary award will be sufficient to remedy the unjust enrichment. A monetary award can be calculated on a value received basis, which takes into account the value of the benefits determined by their cost on the open market; or on a value survived basis, which looks at the value created in an asset by the plaintiff’s contributions: Wilson v. Fotsch, 2010 BCCA 226 at paras. 51-53.
