Professor Charles Mitchell; Paul Mitchell, sku-987457962, is a hardcover title in Essays on Law Books. Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution collects essays reassessing landmark restitution cases from the early seventeenth to the mid-twentieth century.

The essays examine how English law came to recognize unjust enrichment as a distinct part of the law of obligations, along with restitutionary awards for unjust enrichment and wrongdoing. Before the last decade of the twentieth century, the existence, scope and content of a separate law of unjust enrichment were disputed.

Contributors reconsider classic decisions, including cases they regard as overstated, overlooked or misunderstood. The collection is intended for scholars, students and practitioners interested in this area of law.
