Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the principle of unjust enrichment and its pivotal role in shaping civil and common law systems. It examines the historical development, doctrinal foundations, and normative aspects of unjust enrichment, tracing its origins from Roman law to its adoption in modern legal systems such as Germany, France, England, and the United States. The work highlights the principle's influence on comparative legal research and its integration into general enrichment claims. By addressing critical legal concepts, methodologies, and case law, the author aims to provide an in-depth understanding of unjust enrichment as a unifying legal doctrine. The book is intended for scholars, legal practitioners, and students interested in comparative law, legal theory, and the evolution of enrichment principles in diverse jurisdictions.
