• W576331785 abstract "A wrongly deprives B of some resource that belongs to B, to A's advantage and B's harm. This book investigates this paradigmatic case of unjust enrichment by appropriation, known in Anglo-American law under the title of restitution for wrongs and associated with the archaic concept of waiver of tort. The appropriation paradigm covers a wide variety of resources: land and chattels; copyright, trademark and patent; trade secrets, contractual relations and performances and pre-contractual expectations; individual reputation and dignity, commercial attributes of personality, and even identity and physical integrity. Three very different legal environments -- American law, Jewish law, and international law -- are invoked in the search for an explanatory theory for the appropriation paradigm. The resulting theory brings to light the normative underpinnings of the applicable doctrine. The book studies the different pecuniary measures that may be applied in cases of appropriation. These measures range from requiring that A receive compensation for the harm she has suffered to awarding A the profits realized by B at A's expense, and they also include several intermediate possibilities, most significantly, the fair market value of the resource involved. My claim is that these measures represent the external expression of the legal system's profound commitment to preserving certain underlying values. The measure of profits deters non-consensual invasions, thereby vindicating the cherished libertarian value, control; the fair market value measure of recovery is aimed at securing the utility that is embodied in the appropriated resource, which corresponds with the utilitarian value of well-being; and finally, limiting recovery to compensation for the harm suffered responds to the claim of B (the appropriator) to a share of the entitlement of A (the resource-holder), as long as B does not actually diminish A's estate, thereby vindicating the communitarian value of sharing. I propose that in developing a set of rules for dealing with cases of appropriation, different legal systems embrace different foundational values or sets of values. I further contend that the question of which values a particular system adopts as its most basic ones depends on the larger normative ethos in which that system is set. Finally, I maintain that the diversity of resources protected by unjust enrichment law generates a parallel diversity in the degree of protection accorded to such various resources and therefore in the measures of recovery available in cases of their appropriation. This diversity is explicable by the differing degrees to which a community views such various resources as constitutive of their possessors' identity. Opting for any one of the available remedies is thus not a matter of legal technicality. The legal choice of a pecuniary remedy embodies a choice between competing values. This choice, more particularly, is implicated in the prevailing background ethos of the society at issue, and is deeply influenced by its own complex conceptions of self and of community." @default.
