Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Restitution: Past Present and Future: Essays in Honour of Gareth Jones by Edited by William Cornish Edited by Richard Nolan Edited by Janet OSullivan Edited by Graham Virgo
The essays in this volume are dedicated to Gareth Jones the retiring Downing Professor of English Law at the University of Cambridge. His contribution to legal scholarship has been immense particularly in the fields of legal history the law of trusts charities law and most famously the law of restitution. The publication of the first edition of the Law of Restitution which he co-authored with Lord Goff stimulated a renaissance in the study of a subject which had previously lain dormant. The effect of its publication on English legal scholarship has been profound and enduring. In these essays written by a group of the worlds leading restitution scholars the opportunity is taken to conduct a fresh appraisal of the development of the subject - to look in other words at the past present and future of the law of restitution.
