money had and received

a form of action that lay to recover money paid under MISTAKE or compulsion or for a failed consideration. It also covered cases where the defendant had acquired money from the plaintiff by a tortious act. Many of these cases are now considered to fall within that part of the English law of obligations called RESTITUTION and are not thought to be quasi-contractual in the sense of having anything to do with contract. For Scotland, see CONDICTIO INDEBITI.

MONEY HAD AND RECEIVED. An action of assumpsit will lie to recover money to which the plaintiff is entitled, and which in justice and equity, when no rule of policy or strict law prevents it, the defendant ought to refund to the plaintiff, and which he cannot with a good conscience retain, on a count for money had and received. 6 S. & R. 369; 10 S. & R. 219: 1 Dall. 148; 2 Dall. 154; 3 J.

J. Marsh. 543: 4 Pick. 452; 12 Pick. 120; 4 Binn. 374; 3 Watts, 277; 4 Call, 451.
