The article presents information on unjust acts. True it is that some unjust acts may be legal and some illegal, but the only conclusion, with reference to the doctrine of unjust enrichment, that can rightly be drawn from the admission is that, so far as such unjust acts are acts of unjust enrichment, the doctrine is not true. It is an incorrect conclusion that the doctrine is itself logically defective. There can be no identity and no contradiction in one sentence unless the same adjective appears on both sides of the copula, with or without a negative attached.
