Subject: Altruism in Private Law / Subrogation

Recently published by OUP is a monograph, Altruism in Private Law, by Jeroen Kortmann. It is a comparative study of liability for non-feasance and of the legal regulation of unrequested intervention in another's affairs.

Also, although it goes back a little bit, I have only recently seen Johann Dieckmann's article in (2004) 8 Edinburgh Law Review 329, "Scots Influence on English Law: the Guarantor's Right to Derivative Recourse (Subrogation)".

This comparative study contrasts the unjust enrichment approach to subrogation with other understandings.
