NEW IN PAPERBACK
`...a remarkable and important book. Students will be fascinated
with the rigour and challenge of its academic analysis ... The
reason why this book should be on everyone's shelf, and read, is
that it forces one to think and think again. Its clarity of thought
- and language - provides us with the discipline, as well as the
assistance, to see this perplexing and sometimes intransigent area
of law in a refreshing way.'Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law
Quarterly
`...lively and well-written book...a powerfully argued and
sophisticated piece of work which shows beyond doubt that there is
an independent class of claims generated by the receipt of a
benefit.'Times Higher Education Supplement April 1986
