The Law of Restitution is now firmly established as a distinct branch of the law of obligations. Yet for much of the past 25 years its status has been the subject of debate both in the courts and in academia and there are those who still regard it with suspicion. This is therefore an appropriate time to publish the collected essays of a scholar who has made a significant contribution to the study of restitution and who has established a distinctive position on many of its most keenly disputed controversies. For this collection the author has chosen a number of previously published and influential papers which he has selectively revised and updated, together with a number of completely new papers which present his latest views on a range of issues central to the law of restitution.
Reviews
`It is a good thing that Mr Beatson's essays should now nestle between hardback covers. Not every reader will agree with his conclusions, and his text is not always the easiest to read. But all readers should be stimulated to re-examine critically principles which they had hitherto lightly endorsed.' The Cambridge Law Journal
'The collection includes several classic pieces of clarification ... Whatever new approach emerges cannot fail to have been influenced, and influenced heavily, by the contributions of Beatson.' Steve Hedley, Christ's College, Cambridge, Civil Justice Quarterly, January 1992
'Any lawyer required to wrestle with this subject will be enriched by reading these essays.' The Law Quarterly Review, Vol. 108, April 1992
