Items related to The Modern Law of Restitution (Practical Approach)
In a sequence of landmark decisions in the 1990s, from Lipkin Gorman v Karpnale to Klienwort Benson v Lincoln City Council, the House of Lords and courts throughout the common law world have recognised and developed a coherent law of restitution based upon the principle of reversing unjust
enrichment. This intellectual revolution supersedes obsolete learning on quasi-contract and constructive trusts. Whenever money goes astray, or an apparently consensual transaction goes awry, lawyers need to be familiar with the principles and detailed rules of this "new" subject. This work
addresses the relationship between the unjust enrichment principle and the traditional rules on transactions and insists upon the primacy of contract and the subsidiarity of restitution to established categories of law. The book guides both the student and the busy practitioner through the difficult
practical issues and the arcane vocabulary towards a clearer understanding of the restitutionary enquiry.
