Practice question
An investor willingly pays a valid contract price in exchange for a service that is fully and lawfully performed. Market conditions later make the deal economically disappointing. No defect in consent or legal discharge is proved. The investor invokes Article 22 solely to rewrite the bargain because the provider benefited. Which is correct?
- All disappointing contracts are automatically unjust
- The provider must surrender every asset
- A profit proves lack of legal basis
- Every investment loss creates a restitution right
- The valid performed bargain provides a legal ground; disappointment and the provider’s benefit alone do not establish the claimed restitution
