Re:	The best 3 or 4 contract/UE interface cases

I should, of course, have mentioned, the decision of Robert Goff J in British Steel v Cleveland Bridge [1984] 1 All ER 504 (pre-contractual liability based on benefits received).

What is the report for this Canadian case?

Although (or perhaps because) the decision does not expressly discuss unjust enrichment, Bowlay Logging v Domtar, which is a staple of Canadian casebooks on contracts, provides a very good introduction to the intersection. Students can be primed in first year for the possibility that unjust enrichment may provide an alternative source of relief where a contractual claim fails.
