Written by two leading commentators on the subject, this book of cases and materials contains extracts from the leading cases, predominantly from the UK and the Commonwealth. There are also extracts from the writings of some of the world's leading academic authorities on restitution law.

These materials are supported by comments and notes written by the editors and there are also questions and notes on further reading. Clearly, the components of this book form a thorough exploration of the law of restitution and as such will be essential reading for all students of the law in this area.
