The
Scope and Structure of Unjust Enrichment
Duncan Sheehan
This ambitious book grapples with the complex debates ongoing on the
structure of unjust enrichment, proving to be a major contribution to the
field.
Responding to the subject s critics, it presents a clearly articulated
structure for this branch of private law, arguing that while unjust enrichment
has the function of reversing defective enrichments (whether by performance or
in another way) there is scope for normative pluralism in how the law achieves
this.
Drawing heavily on comparative material from Germany, Scotland and South
Africa the book then argues for a legal framework which combines elements of
the absence of basis and unjust factors approaches. It assesses how that
structure can be mapped against the causes of action that make up unjust
enrichment, arguing that some are performance claims - reversing a deliberate,
intentional performance - and some are non-performance claims. Other claims,
often included in books on unjust enrichment, such as necessity should be
excluded from the subject area. The book concludes with a treatment of
defences.
Duncan Sheehan is Professor of Business Law at the University of
Leeds, UK.
