In his obituary, he was described as "a key figure in the extraordinary development of the law of restitution in the last 45 years".[1]
Birks was educated at Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School , went up to Trinity College, Oxford and subsequently obtained a master of laws from University College London .[2]
Birks was also the first general editor of English Private Law , a book which sought to summarise and rationalise the entire scope of English private law, in accordance with Birks' own passionate belief for order and characterisation within a discipline (law) which he regarded as too eclectic and inconsistent. He also wrote An Introduction to the Law of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment , and wrote some 142 contributions to legal reviews.
In Woolwich Building Society v Inland Revenue Commissioners House of Lords substantially adopted the reasoning set out in an academic essay by Birks, described in the judgment of Lord Goff as "powerful".
Birks was elected a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2001.[3]
Biography [ edit ]
