Dear colleagues,

At the request of Steven Gallagher of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I forward a call for papers for a conference that they will be holding in June.

CALL FOR PAPERS: CONFERENCE ON THE ROLE OF THE LAW OF UNJUST ENRICHMENT IN ASIA

The law of unjust enrichment is more or less recognized in all modern jurisdictions. The name suggests that nobody should enrich herself at the expense of another party. Details of even very fundamental aspects of the law of unjust enrichment are, however, highly disputed everywhere. In particular, in Asia the law of unjust enrichment seems to lead a shadow existence, is under-researched and creates practical problems even in the more developed jurisdictions such as Hong Kong or Singapore.

To explore related issues CUHK LAW will hold a conference on “The Role of the Law of Unjust Enrichment in Asia” on 26 June 2020 at the CUHK Graduate Law Center, Central, Hong Kong.

CUHK LAW now invites proposals for papers to be presented at the conference on general or specific aspects of the role of the law of unjust enrichment in Asia. Proposals of up to 300 words should set out the topic, provide an abstract as well as the name, institutional affiliation and email address of the proposer and be uploaded here on or before 15 March 2020.
