UnjUstified enrichment VolUme ii Professor Robin Evans-Jones
Published under the auspices of the Scottish Universities Law Institute
This is the second volume of this major work by Professor Robin Evans-Jones which for the first time in Scots Law seeks to identify and analyse the body of law known as ‘unjustified enrichment’.
Volume one concentrated on enrichment acquired as a result of deliberate conferral. Volume two tackles enrichment acquired in another manner, whether by interference, imposition or discharge of another’s debt. There is now a consensus amongst Scottish academic writers that the sub-division of the law according to the manner in which the enrichment was acquired is the best way to structure this body of law. As the result of recent judicial activism a general enrichment principle applies across all the groups of claims. Professor Evans-Jones commences volume II with an historical chapter which identifies the influence of Roman law, but also why Scots law has rightly moved beyond Roman law and the confused testimony built partly on it in the early modern period. Drawing on Lord Rodger of Earlsferry’s judgement in Shilliday v Smith concepts like restitution, repetition and recompense are no longer understood to represent distinct groups of causes of action. Distinctions between causes of action according to the nature of the benefit are also no longer recognised. Moving beyond Shilliday the book identifies a range of core claims of which the Scottish case law is the expression. It shows how over time a range of analogous claims has been recognised. The case law is allocated to its appropriate place in the new structure. The book examines the general enrichment principle and how it should be understood. Founding upon the general enrichment principle the book provides a rational structure on which the law can develop in the future. A chapter deals with the interface between claims of unjustified enrichment and restitutionary claims arising from breach of a fiduciary duty.
