The University of Queensland Unjust Enrichment Moot

This competition is now closed for 2023.

The University of Queensland Law Society will host the inaugural University of Queensland Unjust Enrichment Moot from the 27th until the 31st of August 2023. 

All rounds other than the Grand Final will be held at the UQ School of Law, with the Grand Final hosted at the Federal Court of Australia. 

This year's grand final will be judged by Justice James Edelman of the High Court of Australia, Justice Roger Derrington of the Federal Court of Australia, and Professor Kit Barker of the UQ School of Law.

Unjust enrichment is a unifying legal concept which explains why the law recognises, in a variety of distinct categories of case, an obligation on the part of a defendant to make fair and just restitution for a benefit derived at the expense of a plaintiff. As such, it is expected that this moot will be of particular interest to those students who enjoyed studying the Law of Contract and Trusts and Equity.
