The law of restitution is the law of gains-based recovery. It is to be contrasted with the law of compensation, which is the law of loss-based recovery. Obligations to make restitution and obligations to pay compensation are each a type of legal response to events in the real world. When a court orders restitution it orders the defendant to give up his gains to the claimant. When a court orders compensation it orders the defendant to compensate the claimant for his or her loss.

The orthodox view suggests that there is only one principle on which the law of restitution is dependent, namely the principle of unjust enrichment. However, the view that restitution, like other legal responses, can be triggered by any one of a variety of causative events is increasingly prevalent. These are events in the real world which trigger a legal response. It is beyond doubt that unjust enrichment and wrongs can trigger an obligation to make restitution. Certain commentators propose that there is a third basis for restitution, namely the vindication of property rights with which the defendant has interfered. It is arguable that other types of causative event can also trigger an obligation to make restitution.

Can bail bonds work to help repay restitution?
Q. My nephew is in trouble and his attorney said that he won't have to go to prison if he can pay all his restitution up front. It's a large sum of money. He has a great job and can pay it back in installments. Any ideas where he could come up with this kind of money? He realized he made a BIG mistake, but has children and going to prison would ruin their lives. He knows the implications of his actions, so please help and not just criticize. THANKS!

What is the coefficient of restitution of a tennis ball?
Q. What is the coefficient of restitution of a regulation tennis ball?
Asked by Tom C - Wed Jan 30 15:47:52 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A regulation tennis ball, for example, is required to bounce at least 53 inches when dropped from the height of 100 inches. The coefficient of restitution is therefore equal to the square root of 0.53, or approximately 0.728. In comparison, a wet wad of paper has a coefficient of restitution equal to zero.
