This monograph is easy to recommend to those interested in the relationship of restitution and contract. There is much to admire in the historical depth and analytical clarity that the author has brought to this subject. Craig Rotherham The Modern Law Review 2010, 73 (1) The questions this book addresses ... are fundamental and it marks a clear and important advance on orthodox accounts of law in this area. All those interested in contract law, unjust enrichment and legal history have much to take from it. Charlie Webb Law Quarterly Review April 2010, Volume 126 This monograph constitutes a new star in the every expanding galaxy of enrichment literature, and it is a star which shines brightly. Beyond the practical exposition of restitution alongside breach of contract, Dr Baloch makes important claims with respect to the general nature of unjust enrichment in English law, and indeed the historical development of the law. It is to be hoped that some of the protagonists in the field will engage with its important thesis. Daniel J Carr The Edinburgh Law Review Volume 14, 2010
