Restitution is the body of law concerned with taking away gains
that someone has wrongfully obtained. The operator of a Ponzi
scheme takes money from his victims by fraud and then invests it in
stocks that rise in value. Or a company pays a shareholder
excessive dividends or pays them to the wrong person. Or a man
poisons his grandfather and then collects under the grandfather's
will. In each of these cases, one party is unjustly enriched at the
expense of another. And, in each, the law of restitution provides a
way to undo the enrichment and transfer the defendant's gains to a
party with better rights to them. Tort law focuses on the harm, or
costs, that one party wrongfully imposes on another. Restitution is
the mirror image; it corrects gains that one party wrongfully
receives at another's expense. It is an important topic for every
lawyer and for anyone else interested in how the legal system
responds to injustice.
In "Restitution, " Ward Farnsworth presents a guide to this body
of law that is compact, lively, and insightful--the first treatment
of its kind that the American law of restitution has received. The
book explains restitution doctrines, remedies, and defenses with
unprecedented clarity and illustrates them with vivid examples.
Farnsworth demonstrates that the law of restitution is guided by a
manageable and coherent set of principles that have remarkable
versatility and power. "Restitution "makes a complex and important
area of law accessible, understandable, and interesting to any
reader.
