Book Synopsis The Varieties of Restitution by : Ian McNeil Jackman
Download or read book The Varieties of Restitution written by Ian McNeil Jackman and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of restitution is commonly described in terms of a unifying principle of "unjust enrichment at the plaintiffs expense." Jackman challenges that view, revealing that much of the law of restitution does not concern cases where the defendant has been "enriched" or where the plaintiff has suffered "expense." Demonstrating that there are several distinct concepts of "injustice" at stake, he then identifies three fundamentally distinct categories of legal thought in this area: the reversal of non-voluntary transactions; the fulfilment of non-contractual promises; and the protection of the private legal facilities of proprietary rights and fiduciary relationships. In so doing, the author highlights the central and disparate principles of restitution so often masked by the concern for uniformity.

Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the High Court has repeatedly rejected the notion that there is a unifying principle of unjust enrichment at the plaintiff's expense, in contrast to the position in the UK. This book provides a vigorous and sustained justification for the Australian position, and demonstrates that the law in the UK has generated more fictions than it was ever thought to abolish. The law of restitution is shown to comprise several fundamentally distinct legal concepts which fill gaps in the law of contract and tort, and which have nothing in common beyond the historical accident that they arose out of the action of indebitatus assumpsit. These are (i) the recovery of non-voluntary payments (by mistake, duress, undue influence, unconscionable dealing and total failure of consideration); (ii) remuneration for goods or services requested by the defendant in circumstances indicating a promise to pay for them; and (iii) the protection of certain facilitative institutions of private law (such as private property and fiduciary relationships). The book staunchly defends the traditional common law approach of analysing legal principles by the empirical method of treating like cases alike, rather than by derivation from supposedly unifying theories. This edition updates the first edition, which was published in 1998, in the light of almost 20 years of case-law and academic debate. It also adds a separate chapter dealing with the history of the law of restitution and why it matters.
Book Synopsis The Principles of the Law of Restitution by : Graham Virgo
Download or read book The Principles of the Law of Restitution written by Graham Virgo and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new textbook outlines the general principles of the rapidly developing subject of the Law of Restitution. Restitution is concerned with the reversing of unjust enrichment and was recently recognized as a discrete body of law by the House of Lords although restitutionary principles have in fact been evolving for over 200 years. Rather than taking the traditional approach which assumes that restitutionary remedies will be awarded against a defendant only where it can be shown that the defendant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the plaintiff.The book asserts that the law of restitution is simply concerned with the question of when restitutionary remedies may be awarded, that is remedies which are assessed by reference to a benefit obtained by the defendant. But in determining whether restitutionary remedies are available it is necessary to identify the causes of the action which triggers them. There are three such causes of action, namely the reversal of the defendants unjust enrichment, the commission of a wrong by the defendant, and the vindication of the defendants property rights. The state of the law is examined through analyses of the statutory provisions and key cases demonstrating the way the law is used to resolve a wide variety of legal problems. The very different views of academics as to the nature and ambit of the subject are also identified. This book will be invaluable to students on restitution courses at every level.

Book Synopsis Restitution and Unjust Enrichment by : Andrew Kull
Download or read book Restitution and Unjust Enrichment written by Andrew Kull and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restitution is a body of law that has immense practical value and wide application to disputes of all sorts. Simply put, it is the set of rules that govern recovery of gains that a party should not keep—or “unjust enrichment,” as it is formally called; and unjust enrichment occurs every day in both private and commercial transactions. Restitution has the dual distinction of being one of the most useful but overlooked bodies of law, due to its lack of study by several generations of modern lawyers. Without a single casebook in print on the subject, it has been nearly impossible to teach restitution law in the past. Restitution and Unjust Enrichment: Cases and Notes fills that void and presents the substance, remedies and history of restitution in a practical and interesting manner. Professors and students will benefit from: The only casebook available for teaching this important and interesting subject, and the first new one in 50 years. A modern reworking of the topic that adopts the framework of Publication of Restatement Third, Restitution and Unjust Enrichment (2011) (“R3RUE”) for teaching purposes. A complete discussion of Restitution, which is part of the required curriculum for students who receive legal training in other parts of the common-law world. Authorship by leading scholars in the field. Andrew Kull was the sole Reporter for R3RUE, published in two hardcover volumes. Ward Farnsworth is the author of a convenient treatise on Restitution, published by the University of Chicago Press in 2014. He is also co-author of the Wolters Kluwer casebook Torts: Cases and Questions, currently in its second edition.
Download or read book Restitution written by Lionel Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. In the Western legal tradition, the history of restitution for unjust enrichment reaches back to pre-classical Roman law. In common law, the roots of unjust enrichment may be said to lie in the fourteenth century; but its history as a subject of academic study is much shorter. The law of restitution has become increasingly important in the courts of the common law world during the last decade. This has generated a great deal of scholarly attention and there has been an explosion of literature as legal academics have addressed the theoretical foundations of the subject, its structure and its underlying principles.

Download or read book Restitution written by Ward Farnsworth and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restitution is the body of law concerned with taking away gains that someone has wrongfully obtained. Restitution isn t concerned with rectifying an injury; it s not about losses that one person inflicts on another (those are torts). In some ways restitution is the symmetrical complement to tort law; but despite tort s high profile, its centrality to the popular understanding of what the legal system doesthe companion doctrine of restitution is much neglected in American scholarship. Ward Farnsworth suggests that this relative neglect is due to restitution s reputation as a hodge-podge of leftover doctrines that don t add up to a clear body of knowledge. He intends to provide a readable and compact book that explains the doctrine of restitution in one place, and show how its components relate to one another. Timing is particularly suitable in the wake of the 2011 publication of the American Law Institute s Restatement Third, Restitution and Unjust Enrichment. Farnsworth s book seeks, in effect, to restate the new Restatement in as concise and lively a fashion as the subject matter will permit, thought with a somewhat different organization and a bit more attention to the theory behind the rules. The book starts with a brief essay on the relationship between restitution and other bodies of law, then proceeds to consider, in a chapter apiece, the four major families of liability in restitution (mistakes; conferrings; takings; and failed trades), the two kinds of remedies available at the end of a case (money and equitable), and finally defenses against claims of unjust enrichment."
Download or read book Unjust Enrichment written by Kit Barker and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2008 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to enable both practitioners and students to gain a full understanding of the law of restitution and its place in the wider law of civil obligations. To this end, the book contains extracts from important cases as well as extracts from the writings of leading scholars. Explanatory text, notes and questions accompany the extracts which provide a stimulating and insightful guide that will leave readers with a thorough doctrinal and practical understanding of the law of restitution. This work is exceptional in two ways. The first, unlike many similar books, this work offers the reader a coherent theoretical structure within which to study and understand the materials. The second is the extensive commentary that accompanies the materials. The analysis included in this work is deep and thorough and includes a range of questions that will challenge the reader. The book is both a textbook and a collection of primary materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Goff and Jones published The Law of Restitution in 1966, they can justifiably be said to have "created" a new legal subject, for they convincingly showed that a mass of cases drawn from apparently disparate areas were best understood and explained as applications of an underlying and unifying principle of reversing unjust enrichment. This book contributes to the ongoing fight for the recognition, development, and correct application of the law of restitution.
Download or read book Restitution written by Joachim Dietrich and published by Blackstone Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restitution: A new perspective provides a detailed critique of current and widely accepted theories seeking to unify the law of restitution on the basis of a principle of unjust enrichment. Commencing with a brief history of restitution, the book proceeds to illustrate the diverse legal problems addressed by the law of restitution. The legal doctrines now collected under this heading are demonstrated to have fulfilled a gap-filling role in our law, much like the diverse doctrines of equity have done. The book questions the underlying basis for unjust enrichment theories and demonstrates their inadequacy as descriptions and explanations of restitution. The book then sets out alternative methods of organising and rationalising the topics of restitution. The approach adopted rejects an explanation of liability in restitution on the basis of a defendant's unjust enrichment and thus challenges much of the current academic and judicial writing the in the field. Instead, the approach adopted is to emphasise the relevance of a defendant's conduct in determining the nature and extent of any liability imposed.
Book Synopsis The Nature and Scope of Restitution by : Peter Jaffey
Download or read book The Nature and Scope of Restitution written by Peter Jaffey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-09-16 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint Winner of the 2001 SPTL Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship! In recent years there has been enormous interest in the law of restitution,with many new books and academic articles and a number of important decisions in the courts. However, there remains great controversy and some confusion, partly for historical reasons and partly as a result of continuing differences over the principles underlying the field. There are particular difficulties over the relation of the law of restitution to other areas of law, including contract and property law. In this new and innovative work the author advances a view of the framework of fundamental principles underlying the law of restitution which offers a means of understanding the tangle of conflicting authorities, and then proceeds to examine the case law in light of it. As part of his analysis, the author suggests new approaches to understanding the areas of overlap between restitution, contract, trusts and property law.
