• One of the most authoritative accounts of the law of restitution available, written by a leading figure in the field

New to this edition

• Thoroughly revised to include developments in case law (such as Sempra Metals Ltd v Inland Revenue Commissioners, and Chief Constable of the Greater Manchester Police v Wigan Athletic AFC Ltd) and academic thought (particularly the late Peter Birks' 'absence of basis' approach).
• More sharply defines the divide between restitution of unjust enrichment and restitution for wrongs
• An updated, more accessible chapter structure makes the book even easier to use
