Steve Hedley writes:

At present, in this jurisdiction, restitution has only persisted for a rather small fraction of the time that rival theories lasted; resort to supernatural explanation seems premature.

As an analytical approach, resort to the supernatural has also been viewed with disfavour by high judicial authority - see Circuit Systems Ltd (in liq) v Norglen Ltd, HL, 27th Nov 1997, per Lord Hoffmann; 'there is no need for such spooky jurisprudence'.
