Restitution in English law information


The English law of Restitution is the law of gain-based recovery.[1] Its precise scope and underlying principles remain a matter of significant academic and judicial controversy.[2] Broadly speaking, the law of restitution concerns actions in which one person claims an entitlement in respect of a gain acquired by another, rather than compensation for a loss.
