Restitutionary Rights to Share in Damages
Rights and obligations can arise, amongst other things, in tort or in unjust enrichment. Simone Degeling deals with the phenomenon whereby a stranger to litigation is entitled to participate in the fruits of that litigation. Two prominent examples of this phenomenon are the carer, entitled to share in the fund of damages recovered by a victim of tort, and the indemnity insurer, entitled to participate in the fruits of the insured's claim against the wrongdoer. Degeling demonstrates that both are rights raised to reverse unjust enrichment. Careful examination of these two categories reveals the existence of a novel policy-motivated unjust factor called the policy against accumulation. Degeling argues that this is an unjust factor of broad application, applying to configurations other than that of the carer and the indemnity insurer. This will interest restitution and tort lawyers, both academic and practitioner, as well as academic institutions and court libraries.
Banking Law
It provides a balanced approach to banking law by discussing both the public law and regulatory issues as well as the transactional and private law elements of the subject. The book discusses UK banking legislation and the role of the various domestic regulators and provides detailed commentary on the EU and international banking directives that impact upon UK banks.
Justifying Private Rights
Many of the most influential contributions to private law scholarship in the latter part of the twentieth century go beyond purely doctrinal accounts of private law. A distinctive feature of these analyses is that they straddle the divide between legal philosophy, on the one hand, and the sort of traditional doctrinal analysis applied by the courts, on the other. The essays contained in this collection continue in this tradition. The collection is divided into two parts. The essays contained in the first part consider the nature of, and justification for, private rights generally. The essays in the second part address the justification for particular private law rights and doctrines. Offering insightful and innovative analyses, this collection will appeal to scholars in all fields of private law and legal theory.
Unjust Enrichment in Commercial Law

The Editors, Drs Simone Degeling and James Edelman have specifically chosen topics that reflect current problems in legal analysis from the viewpoint of commercial legal practitioners. This book will provide access to the views from the world's leading commentators in this field including esteemed judges, legal practitioners and academics.
Private Law and Power
"The aim of this edited collection of essays is to examine the relationship between private law and power-both the public power of the state and the 'private' power of institutions and individuals. Its objectives are to describe and critically assess the way that private law doctrines, institutions, processes, and rules express, moderate, facilitate, and control relationships of power. The aim is to scrutinise this subject from the viewpoints of both history and modernity. The various chapters of this work examine the dynamics of the relationship between private law and power from a number of different perspectives-historical, theoretical, doctrinal, and comparative. They have been commissioned from ... experts in the field of private law, from several different commonwealth jurisdictions (Australia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand), each with expertise in the particular sphere of their contribution. The contributers aim to illuminate the past and assist in resolving some contemporary, difficult legal issues relating to the shape, scope, and content of private law and its difficult role and relationship with power."--
Equitable Compensation and Disgorgement of Profit
This collection of essays interrogates significant issues at the forefront of scholarship and legal practice in the field of money remedies in equity. Chapters address the contentious and developing field of equitable compensation, including: the nature of equitable compensation; the relevant causation inquiry for equitable compensation; whether notions of contribution apply to multiple agents; accessorial liability; the role of discretion in limiting equitable compensation; which wrongs yield equitable compensation; and the extent to which compensation in equity differs from money remedies at common law. Other chapters examine the remedy of disgorgement of profit, and specifically the theoretical basis of that remedy, its application in the context of fiduciary obligations, and third-party issues. A number of chapters also examine the interrelationship between loss- and gain-based money relief. In addressing these issues the book includes both doctrinal and theoretical perspectives, and brings together leading equity scholars and judges from across the common law world.
