Reviews for An Introduction to the Law of Restitution

'...a remarkable and important book. Students will be fascinated with the rigour and challenge of its academic analysis ... The reason why this book should be on everyone's shelf, and read, is that it forces one to think and think again. Its clarity of thought - and language - provides us with the discipline, as well as the assistance, to see this perplexing and sometimes intransigent area of law in a refreshing way.'Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly '...lively and well-written book...a powerfully argued and sophisticated piece of work which shows beyond doubt that there is an independent class of claims generated by the receipt of a benefit.'Times Higher Education Supplement April 1986
