<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this collection of essays, a group of leading scholars look back and reappraise some of the landmark cases in the law of restitution.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It is now well established that the law of unjust enrichment forms an important and distinctive part of the English law of obligations. Restitutionary awards for unjust enrichment and for wrongdoing are clearly recognised for what they are. But prior to the last decade of the twentieth century the very existence of a separate law of unjust enrichment was controversial, its scope and content matters of dispute. In this collection of essays, a group of leading scholars reappraise some of the landmark cases in the area. Their investigations shed new light on some classic decisions, and persuasively invite readers to think again about some well-known authorities.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...a fine example of the kind of historical investigation that should be the foundation of all common law scholarship...These essays should be read not just by legal historians or restitution lawyers but also those interested in the workings of the common law generally.<br/>King's Law Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1<br><br>...useful insights into the role some cases played in bringing the law of restitution to where it is today...<br/>Restitution Law Review<br><br>Many of the essays contain a detailed account of the story behind the case and make highly entertaining reading. They recount facts which are not found in the law reports but are the product of wide-ranging and painstaking research...some essays are highly entertaining tales of ancient skulduggeries, others indispensable guides to difficult but important cases. If we are to understand the present law, we need to learn from our predecessors' mistakes, and these are thoroughly investigated in this volume.<br/>The Law Quarterly Review, Volume 123<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Charles Mitchell is Professor of Law at UCL.
