The International Encyclopedia of Comparative Law, published in 17 volumes, is written by worldwide recognised leading specialists of comparative law. 16 of these volumes are devoted to one large area of private and commercial law, each of which is dealt with exclusively from a comparative law perspective, whereas the first volume provides reports on all the countries of the world, in alphabetical order, pertaining to the same subjects. Volume X contains 10 chapters, nine dealing with restitution (or unjust enrichment) and one with negotiorum gestio. The emphasis is on the Continental European and the Anglo-American legal systems. Unjust enrichments may occur in all fields of law – contract, property, fiduciary relations, family law, etc. Restitution, therefore, is a general legal issue and it is dealt with both generally and specifically.
