The subject of unjustified enrichment is generating enormous interest inside and outside the Netherlands. In 1992, the new Burgerlijk Wetboek (the Dutch Civil Code) introduced an important change: “He who is unjustly enriched at the expense of another party, is obliged, as far as is reasonable, to pay compensation for the loss of the other party.” This article has far-reaching effects on Dutch jurisdiction. In Great Britain, France and Germany, too, this issue is currently receiving much attention.
In this volume, four specialists on the subject present developments in German, Dutch and English enrichment law in a European perspective.
- Prof. E.J.H. Schrage, Restitution in the New Dutch Civil Code
