Abstract

Two observations may be made of the 2020 cases on the law of unjust enrichment and restitution. First, there were a number of cases that examined the relationship between the law of unjust enrichment and other branches of the law, such as contract law, equity and statute. These cases help to define the boundary of the law of unjust enrichment which was developed belatedly and grew rapidly to threaten the traditional territorial scope of more established subjects. Second, there continue to be cases in which the High Court has accepted "lack of consent" as an applicable unjust factor under Singapore law. Each case will now be examined in detail.
