The Principles of the Law of Restitution

This book seeks to analyze the law of restitution, namely that body of law which is concerned with the award of remedies which are assessed by reference to a gain made by a defendant rather than a loss suffered by the claimant. It focuses on those claims which are founded on unjust enrichment, but also considers the award of restitutionary remedies following the commission of a wrong and claims involving the recovery of the claimant's property. The law is analyzed by focusing on the principles which underpin the subject.
