Summary Given problems with, and judicial criticism of, unjust enrichment as a principle, it is necessary and appropriate that unjust enrichment be subsumed by the expanding doctrine of unconscionability - could create a unifying concept which can be applied to achieve justice in a variety of different contexts - triggers for equitable intervention to reverse or adjust transfers of resources on the basis of unconscionability - where there is neither real consent or real consideration - where either variable is absent and it is unclear whether the other is satisfied - approach would inject principle into unconscionability and explain and justify the need for reversing or adjusting the transfer of property or other resources in some circumstances.
