Unjust Enrichment (Clarendon Law Series)

By Peter Birks

Book Overview

This new book, written by the editor of the Clarendon Law Series, is a tightly structured, clear and concise account of the law of unjust enrichment, and attempts to move away from the usage of obscure terminology inherited from the past. It organises modern law around five simple questions: Was the defendent enriched? If so, was it at the claimant's expense? If so, was it unjust? The claimant must then ask what kind of rights he has and the defences he may face.
