Description
This book explores the relationship between the English law of unjust enrichment and legal obligations arising from other branches of the law.
It examines the question primarily by considering how English courts resolve conflicts between restitution claims and countervailing legal entitlements. This is much needed given recent cases such as IEG v Zurich Insurance and Avonwick Holdings Ltd v Azitio Holdings Ltd, which clearly show the differing positions taken by English courts on the question.
By applying insights from the theory of unjust enrichment to Anglo-Australian case law, this study gives a welcome cogent explanation of a complex question.

In this book, international experts deploy a variety of different private law perspectives, ranging through...Hardback$19800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

The Scope and Structure of Unjust Enrichment
This ambitious book grapples with the complex debates ongoing on the structure of unjust enrichment, proving to be a major contribution to the field.

The principal objective of this book is simple: to provide a timely and effective means of navigating the current maze of case law on causation, in order that the solutions to causal problems might more easily be reached and the law relating to them more easily understood.

Life and Death in Private Law
Private law regulates life; this is self-evident, but how does it regulate death? This edited collection explores this question. Life and death are the beginning and end of the legal person: the instigator and terminator of rights, interests and obligations. They are also the nominal separator of particular fields of law (medical law from succession law, for example). As such,...Hardback$19800Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Politics, Policy and Private Law

Tort Law Defences
The law of torts recognises many defences to liability. While some of these defences have been explored in detail, scant attention has been given to the theoretical foundations of defences generally. In particular, no serious attempt has been made to explain how defences relate to each other or to the torts to which they pertain. The goal of this book...Paperback$8799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Accessory Liability
Accessory Liability in the private law is of great importance. Claimants often bring claims against third parties who participate in wrongs. For example, the βdirect wrongdoerβ may be insolvent, so a claimant might prefer a remedy against an accessory in order to obtain satisfactory redress. However, the law in this area has not received the attention it deserves. The criminal...Paperback$8799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Interpretation or construction is central to the operation of contract law. Despite the fundamental role it plays, there have been limited attempts to explain construction in holistic terms.
