Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Unjust enrichment continues to fascinate and frustrate. While it is clear that unjust enrichment is a form of private law liability distinct from that found in property, contract, or tort, it remains stubbornly difficult to articulate its underlying normative basis. In this paper I suggest that some headway can be made on this problem by appealing to a distinction between principles of private right and principles of public right. Relying on Ernest Weinrib’s helpful development of this interesting Kantian idea I argue that the law of unjust enrichment may very well manifest principles reflective of public right’s requirement of systematicity. On this view unjust enrichment provides courts with supplemental decision-making principles that permit the suspension of valid principles of private law while leaving the underlying logic of those principles intact.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
