Reviews for Restitution: Civil Liability for Unjust Enrichment
"Immensely important. Farnsworth's book is a major contribution to the field, providing a succinct, clear, and theoretically informed summary of the doctrine. I have little doubt that it will be of frequent use in law schools, courtrooms, and law offices alike, thus providing support to the belated revival of restitution in the United States." (Hanoch Dagan, Tel-Aviv University)"
