{{a|glossary|}} | {{a|glossary|}}{{restitution capsule}}[[Restitution]] — a.k.a [[unjust enrichment]], or [[money had and received]] — is a claim made feasible through an imaginative synthesis of long-“forgotten” rules of the [[common law]], dreamt up by Lord Goff<ref>See, particularly, {{casenote|Lipkin Gorman|Karpnale Ltd}}</ref> to bring justice to [[little old ladies]], [[welsh hoteliers]] and others dealt a short hand by the cosmic game. | ||
Known | Difficult cases involving such unfortunates (and the odd gambling-addict conveyancer) gave rise to an entire branch of civil law known as [[restitution]], which sits uneasily between the [[common law]] of [[contract]] and [[tort]], seeming as it does to confuse the two, and the [[law of equity]]. | ||
Known also as [[money had and received]] and [[unjust enrichment]], in any case it is not to be confused with [[unjustified enrichment|''unjustified'' enrichment]], which is the [[compensation]] plan for those who make it to the [[C-suite]]. | |||
