Description
The Law of Obligations is a body of law that governs the obligations of individuals and entities in contractual, tortious, and other relationships. It is based on the principle of unjust enrichment, which holds that a party who has benefited unfairly from a relationship is liable for the losses suffered by the other party. This scholarly survey covers the development of the law of obligations over the centuries, and provides an overview of the various legal systems in Europe.
This scholarly survey of the Law of Obligations from classical to modern times is a marvellous work of historical synthesis which discusses each contract, tort, and liability based on unjust enrichment with great clarity, and traces their development over hundreds of years through the legal systems of Europe. Not merely a work of Roman legal scholarship, it is a treasure-house of ideas and arguments as well as information and scholarship relating to the Law of Obligations.
