Remedies

This book offers step-by-step guidance to the resolution of restitutionary claims in specific contexts and is structured in accordance with the elements of the cause of action in unjust enrichment: (1) the defendant's enrichment, (2) the plaintiff's corresponding deprivation, and (3) an absence of juristic reason for the transfer between the parties. Other features include diagrams illustrating difficult concepts, hundreds of new Canadian cases summarized and explained, and new extended discussion of restitutionary claims within families (other than between spouses).

This book provides the principles governing the availability of injunctions and specific performance, including the adequacy of damages and problems of supervision and other discretionary factors.

This edition is designed to provide an accessible but comprehensive review of all the relevant cases on equitable remedies, as well as give context and analysis of the history and methods of equity in the common law of remedies.

The title includes developments regarding remedies for breach of contract with alternative modes of performance and wrongfully dismissed employees’ entitlement to discretionary benefits. Chapters also deal with damages for personal injury, restitutionary remedies, certainty and causation, remoteness of damages, mitigation, and reasonableness of liquidated damages clauses.
