Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the concept of enrichment within the context of obligations arising out of the unjustified acquisition or retention of assets (also known as condictio obligations). Having analyzed critically two current theories (namely the “factual” enrichment theory and “juridical” enrichment theory)the author concludes that enrichment can consist both in the acquisition of jus in rem and in title-less possession and use of the property. Within this framework it is also argued that both specified and generic things can constitute the object of enrichment. The author critically assesses the provision of Ukrainian legislation under which only the property can be the object of enrichment, since there are a lot of other assets that have economic value though they are not encompassed in legislative definition of property.However, those assets are covered by a broader concept, viz the concept of “objects of civil rights”.
