    Solution

    This is a Latin Phrase related to the Indian Contract Act which means as much as he has earned. Further, it provides that even if there is no contract between the parties this law implies a promise to pay a reasonable amount for the labour and material provided. Such circumstances wherein someone gets a benefit while the other party gets nothing or the benefit or enrichment which one party receives as a result of the other party’s actions. Therefore, the party who has received the services is unjustly benefited and must return it to the party who provided that.
