It goes on to examine classification, or characterisation of restitutionary claims.. Restitution has a theoretical unity which enables the author to treat it essentially as a single issue for characterisation purposes. However, restitutionary claims arise in the context of contracts and wrongs; they may be at law or in equity; they may give rise to personal or proprietary remedies, whilst they may be contingent on tracing. Each of these contexts is analysed separately for the purposes of characterisation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe central part of the book examines the choice of law rule for restitutionary issues, and reviews the different approaches adopted in the US and UK and in other parts of the common law world. After weighing the merits of the different approaches the author adopts a choice of law rule for restitutionary issues which is the proper law of the unjust factor. Depending on whether the unjust factor is event-based or law-based, the choice of law rule will focus on either the law of the place, or alternatively, the legal system with which the unjust factor has its closest and most real connection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJurisdiction is an area of increasing importance in private international law and the book provides a thorough analysis of the topic of jurisdiction for restitutionary claims, both under the Brussels Convention as well as the traditional common law rules contained in the Civil Procedure Rules. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important and timely new work for all lawyers interested in restitution, private international law and international commercial litigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Panagopoulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841131423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841131429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"George Panagopoulos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088850006271,"sku":"9781841131429","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ff4cbeb-298d-4452-b030-c0e73107c259.jpg?v=1769106888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/restitution-in-private-international-law-george-panagopoulos-9781841131429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
