X, Tübingen 1991, at 5-1 et seq.Social Networks ContentPage 3 In its most general form, this chapter is concerned with benefits conferred upon a person under a legally unsuccessful transaction. The failure of a bargain may be due to a variety of causes. Once its failure is recognized, the basic solution seems quite simple: the restoration of the parties involved to their original position. In other words, common sense would stipulate the undoing of the acts performed by the restitution of benefits transferred under the failing transaction.
Footnotes1 In some Systems the general principle is explicitly mentioned in the Code. SWITZERLAND: CO art. 62 par. 1 ; ITALY: CC art. 2041 ; SOVIET UNION: RSFSR CC art. 473; cf. GERMANY: CC § 812 par. 1 . In other laws the principle has been inferred judicially from single cases: FRANCE starting from the Boudier case, Cass.req. 15 June 1892, s. 1893.1.281;' Planiol and Ripert (-Esmein a.o.) VII no. 752; Dawson, Enrichment 97-107. For the UNITED STATES cf. Restatement of Restitution (1937) § 1 and the comments of Dawson, Enrichment 3-8 ; Restatement of Restitution 2d, Tentative Draft no. 1 (1983) § 1; Palmer, History S. 25.2 For a renewed interest in the concept of quasicontract, see Honorat, Rôle effectif et rôle concevable des quasi-contrats en droit actuel: Rev.trim.dr.civ. 1969, 653-691; Jacquet, Quasi-Contrats - Généralités: J.Cl.Civ. (Paris, loose-leaf) art. 1370-1371, Fasc. A (11, 1985) no. 105-116.
