to the extent that it is possible to raise dust in a sandstorm, this book will undoubtedly do so...
the sophistication and originality of the ideas it contains demands a fuller account of Jaffey's vision that might be customary in a review
radical new ideas come thick and fast.
This 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. Its overtly provocative agenda makes it a stimulating read
The controversies and innovations come so thick and so fast at points as to leave the reader gasping for breath.
anyone who is interested in the fascinating and highly complex operation of testing the underlying premises and boundaries of the modern law of restitution will wish to place this free-thinking, intricate and scholarly work on their menu.
