Following Lionel's plea for non-English journals, may I just mention that the forthcoming May 1999 issue of Edinburgh Law Review (vol 3 no 2) will contain a critical analysis of Kleinwort Benson v Lincoln City Council by Jane Convery, entitled "Lord Goff's Swansong".

The Scottish Law Commission has also published its Report on Error of Law and Ultra Vires Payments, taking account of the Kleinwort Benson case. This is referred to and briefly discussed in Jane's article.

Previous issues of the ELR have included the following articles and notes of possible interest to restitution and obligations lawyers:
