The Law of Restitution

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Description
The common law is justifiably seen as a jewel in the crown of English Law, The common law has travelled far afield to many other countries where it has been adopted and developed by the local courts. No longer the sole preserve of the judges in London (or Edinburgh and Cardiff), its durability and richness has been due in no small way to the diversity of approach that exists between the common law countries throughout the world. Many of the great judges in England, such as Mansfield, Blackburn, Atkin, Devlin, Reid and Denning, and those from over¬seas such as Oliver Wendell Holmes, Benjamin Cardozo and Owen Dixon, have been masters of the common law. As we enter the new Millenium, the common law continues to influence the development of law elsewhere. It will remain a major export, but now also an import, of this country.
