Greetings everyone, and happy new year to all!
I forward a message from Hart Publishing which mentions a newly-published book, James Lee, ed., From House of Lords to Supreme Court: Judges, Jurists and the Process of Judging, that will no doubt be of interest to many. It includes a paper by Graham Virgo on “The Law of Unjust Enrichment in the House of Lords”.
The attached word file offers a discounted price to RDG members.

Subject: Hart Publishing Book Announcement
We have just published From House of Lords to Supreme Court: Judges, Jurists and the Process of Judging Edited by James Lee which looks at the relationship between judge and jurist from a variety of perspectives and with reference to different jurisdictions. We thought that the members of the RDG listserv would be interested in this title as it brings together authorities on the House of Lords in its judicial capacity together with academics whose specialisms lie in particular fields of law, including tort and restitution law. I have highlighted the relevant chapters below.
I have attached a word document which gives information about this book, including the contents and the 20% discount offer.
