This slender and elegantly written volume makes a remarkable and valuable contribution to the literature of the English law of restitution ... The highest compliment that can be paid to a work of this kind by a reviewer is to indicate that the reviewer both enjoyed reading the volume and profited greatly from doing so. * Andrew Burrows, Canadian Business Law Journal * ROEUE is a personal, but authoritative account of the law that carries the weight of deep learning about the common law from the bottom up, but also the promise of a higher vision about matters of the laws basic structure, organization and shape... ROEUE will receive an enthusiastic reception in England and Wales. English unjust enrichment law clearly needs a strong centripetal force to stabilize views about some very basic matters; and a public platform from which to speak accessibly to the civilian world about the persistent strengths of the common law system. There is no better platform, in my view, than this. * Kit Barker, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies * Thorough and scholarly, yet eminently readable, it expounds on a particularly abstruse and therefore fascinating area of law ... This in our view is an important book of direct relevance for practitioners, academics and the judiciary alike. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers *
