However, there remains great controversy and some confusion, partly for historical reasons and partly as a result of continuing differences over the principles underlying the field. There are particular difficulties over the relation of the law of restitution to other areas of law, including contract and property law.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new and innovative work the author advances a view of the framework of fundamental principles underlying the law of restitution which offers a means of understanding the tangle of conflicting authorities, and then proceeds to examine the case law in light of it. As part of his analysis, the author suggests new approaches to understanding the areas of overlap between restitution, contract, trusts and property law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“to the extent that it is possible to raise dust in a sandstorm, this book will undoubtedly do so... \u003cbr\u003ethe sophistication and originality of the ideas it contains demands a fuller account of Jaffey's vision that might be customary in a review\u003cbr\u003eradical new ideas come thick and fast.\u003cbr\u003eThis is an original and highly ingenious book, which challenges us to reconsider our orthodox beliefs not simply about the law of restitution, but about much of private law.
