Peter Tyler appears to have it all—a loving wife, a powerful job on Wall Street, a sprawling house in the suburbs. But in a moment of weakness, Peter indulges in a one-night stand with a beautiful trader. A few weeks later, his house is broken into and his wife brutally murdered. When the police discover Peter’s infidelity, he immediately goes from grieving husband to prime suspect. Suddenly, it’s up to Peter to prove his own innocence and find his wife’s killer. Written with ferocity and at a lightning pace, Restitution marks the debut of an intelligent and exciting new no

Dagan’s book provides a dynamic and much needed account of the American law of restitution. The book reviews the existing doctrine, including the forthcoming (third) Restatement, using an ethical perspective to expose and critically examine the normative underpinnings of restitution’s core categories. The author also discusses some of the most controversial issues in the area, such as cohabitation, improper tax payments, and the role of constructive trusts as trumps in bankruptcy. He argues that the concept of unjust enrichment is not an independent reason for restitution but, rath

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

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 resti

The Law of Restitution is now firmly established as a distinct branch of the law of obligations, however for much of the past twenty-five years its status has been the subject of much debate both in the courts and in academia and there are those who still view it with great suspicion and disbelief. For this collection the author has chosen a number of previously published and influential papers which he has selectively revised and up-dated, together with a number of completely new papers which present his latest views on a range of issues central to the law of restitution. The book offers in-d
