Congratulations to Eli Ball on the publication of his monograph Enrichment at the Claimant's Expense: Attribution Rules in Unjust Enrichment (Hart 2016). From the blurb:

“This book presents an account of attribution in unjust enrichment. Attribution refers to how and when two parties – a claimant and a defendant – are relevantly connected to each other for unjust enrichment purposes. It is reflected in the familiar expression that a defendant be ‘enriched at the claimant’s expense’. This book presents a structured account of attribution, consisting of two requirements: first, the identification of an enrichment to the defendant and a loss to the claimant; and, secondly, the identification of a connection between that enrichment and that loss. … A counterfactual test – asking whether enrichment and loss arise ‘but for’ each other – provides the best generalisation for testing whether enrichment and loss are connected, thereby satisfying the requirements of attribution in unjust enrichment.”

Bravo Eli!
Season’s greetings to all,

Lionel
