Outline of Final Research Achievements

The analysis during the research period focused on discussions on the systematic positioning of disgorgement. Disgorgement is a type of remedies that falls under the category of "restitution for wrongs" under the law of restitution. This type contradicts that it does not satisfy the requirement of "at the expense of another" of the principle that“a person who has been unjustly enriched at the expense of another is required to make restitution to the other.
I was revealed that British and American countermeasures are different. The majority opinion of British law is that the type of "restitution for wrongs "is not "unjust enrichment" that is causally related to plaintiff's loss. Therefore, it should be excluded from the law of Unjust Enrichment. On the contrary, the US law adopted a position to accept the coexistence of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment. In order to solve the contradiction, they deleted the word "at the expense of another" of unjust enrichment.
