This new edition of Unjust Enrichment by the editor of the Clarendon Law Series, is a fully updated, clear and concise account of the law of unjust enrichment.;It attempts to move away from the use of obscure terminology inherited from the past.
This text is the first book to insist on the switch from restitution to unjust enrichment, from response to event.;It organises modern law around five simple questions: Was the defendant enriched? If so, was it at the claimant's expense? If so, was it unjust?;The fourth question is then what kind of right the claimant has, and the fifth is whether the defendant has any defences.
This 2nd edition was revised an updated by the author before his death from cancer on 6th July 2004 at the age of 62.
