Most of the titles are sufficiently self-explanatory. I'll note simply that (i) Justice Byrne's paper examines the difficulties associated with restitutionary claims for services, (ii) Garner's paper focuses on the concept of free acceptance and the relationship between the nature and valuation of benefits, and (iii) Liew's paper primarily deals with the provision of services under anticipated contracts which fail to materialise.

Finally, it may be worth mentioning that while the text is based on a recent conference held in Melbourne, the papers certainly are not limited to an examination of Australian law.
