Restitution; Contract law

The third edition of The Principles of the Law of Restitution has been substantially rewritten to reflect the significant changes in the law of restitution and the expansion in the theoretical and critical commentary on the subject. It focuses on the identification and analysis of the principles which underpin the law of restitution as a whole, but with reference to its three distinct parts: unjust enrichment, restitution for wrongs, and the vindication of property rights.

Reviews for The Principles of the Law of Restitution

...in terms of user-friendliness it cannot be faulted...no detail is left unaccounted for... * James Couser, Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly * Review from previous edition ...a fine addition to the corpus of restitution literature, a book well worth owning and recommending to those studying restitution for the first time. * Duncan Sheehan, Restitution Law Review *
