Some Thoughts on Change of Position
This chapter focuses on change of position, which is the most important defence — both theoretically and practically — to a claim for unjust enrichment. It examines the under-explored question of the impact of public policy on change of position. It also looks at the following: the role of change of position in claims for rescission; whether change of position is a defence to ‘claims based on the claimant's title’; and whether it is useful to confine one's articulated reasoning to it being ‘equitable’ or ‘inequitable’ on the facts to uphold the defence.
