Alexander Schall, The Principle of Unjust Enrichment
Congratulations to Alexander Schall of Leuphana University Lüneburg on
the publication of The
Principle of Unjust Enrichment (de Gruyter, 2025). This book is open
access, and free to download from that link.
From the web site:
The principle of unjust enrichment came into fruition under English law
in the last decade. It is now accepted that the four-stage-test
"enrichment", "at the expense", "unjust factor"
and "no defences" triggers remedies in restitution. Unjust enrichment
resembles Civilian unjustified enrichment in many ways. But it also differs
considerably in others, just as do French and German unjustified enrichment.
The book aims to explain this.
Bravo Alexander!
Lionel
