Re:	Archer's woes

I am somewhat concerned that the RDG monopoly on e-restitution is under threat. Michael Zander of the LSE is currently alerting those alighting on the BBC news website that Jeffrey Archer (the novelist formerly known as a mayoral candidate) might have to pay back the damages he received in his libel action against the Daily Star "under a concept known as unjust enrichment". Loath as I am to see Jeff's problems increased, can unjust enrichment really add to his woes in this way ? (For those of you unlucky enough not to take the News of the World, the problem is caused by the fact that one of Jeff's friends has now alleged that Jeff asked him to lie under oath at the libel trial. In the event, this friend was not called as a witness).
