Description
This groundbreaking study provides an account of the modern law of restitution which presents an alternative to the current academic orthodoxy. Modern orthodoxy is solidly based on the concepts in Birks' Introduction to Restitution (1985), and although these concepts have often been debated no work has yet set out how the law might be differently structured. Restitution takes on this task, examining the current state of academic theory and proposing an entirely new approach.
