Compensation For Deriving Benefit From Wrongfully Taken Property
Am I liable to compensate another from any benefit I derived from wrongfully taking their property?
It is obligatory to monetarily compensate individuals or institutions to the extent that one benefits from the wrongdoing; children or the insane who misappropriate are compensated for by their guardians; it is not a condition that individuals compensate with their own money, though if no one compensates, the wrongdoer remains liable.
