Description
Restitution is a topic which is now increasingly seen as detached from commercial concerns. "A Critical Introduction to Restitution" aims to set the subject firmly in its practical, commercial context stressing continuity with the remainder of commercial law, and considering issues of policy against that background. The text builds on the reader's knowledge of those subjects, and integrates restitution into them.
