Ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung

More than 30 years after the first edition of Dieter Reuter and Michael Martinek's »Unjustified Enrichment« was published as part of the »Handbook of Obligation Law« monograph series, Dieter Reuter's Volume II appears in completely revised form; Michael Martinek's Volume I is set to follow. The edition presented here contains a comprehensive systematisation and doctrinal analysis of the triangular relationship, the liability scope of unjust enrichment and issues of overlapping institutes on the basis of the normative-functional typology of enrichment actions. Like the 1983 edition, which prompted vivid and pathbreaking discussion among practitioners and legal scholars and had a coining impact on higher court jurisprudence, this volume sets a benchmark for the law of unjust enrichment pursuant to sections 812 et seq. of the German Civil Code, one of the most intricate but also one of the most important fields of civil law.
