This study will help analyze the Recitation of the two types of insurance companies
and to take remedial measures in the sphere of their insurance products. Today, in this
liberalized world, in order to sustain good Recitation, the insurance companies have to ensure
quality products at a competitive price. Companies can lower the price of the product by
reducing the cost. Their survival depends upon their policyholder policyholder’s recitation of
public and private sector general insurance industry in Structural Equation Model (SEM)
approach in the chosen study area. The study has to evaluate the policyholder’s perception
towards non-life insurance industry.

This paper reports results from an experiment studying how fines, leniency programs and reward schemes for whistleblowers affect cartel formation and prices. Antitrust without leniency reduces cartel formation, but increases cartel prices: subjects use costly fines as (altruistic) punishments. Leniency further increases deterrence, but stabilizes surviving cartels: subjects appear to anticipate harsher times after defections as leniency reduces recidivism and lowers post-conviction prices. With rewards, cartels are reported systematically and prices finally fall. If a ringleader is excluded from leniency, deterrence is unaffected but prices grow. Differences between treatments in Stockholm and Rome suggest culture may affect optimal law enforcement.

Modern antitrust engenders a possible conflict between public and private enforcement due to the central role of Leniency Programs. Damage actions may reduce the attractiveness of Leniency Programs for cartel participants if their cooperation with the competition authority increases the chance that the cartel’s victims will bring a successful suit. A long legal debate culminated in a EU directive, adopted in November 2014, which seeks a balance between public and private enforcement. It protects the efectiveness of a Leniency Program by preventing the use of leniency statements in subsequent actions for damages and by limiting the liability of the immunity recipient to its direct and indirect purchasers. Our analysis shows such compromise is not required: limiting the cartel victims’ ability to recover their loss is not necessary to preserve the eectiveness of a Leniency Program and may be counterproductive. We show that damage actions will actually improve its eectiveness, through a legal regime in which the civil liability of the immunity recipient is minimized (as in Hungary) and full access to all evidence collected by the competition authority, including leniency statements, is granted to claimants (as in the US).

This study focuses on the production welfare services which are purchased by the government. We consider whether the delivery of the service should be public or private. The social impact of the service is determined by the satisfaction of unforeseen individual needs. Assuming that the information about these needs is ex post observed only by the producer of the service favours public production. Auctioning the right-to-produce contract, however, selects the most cost-efficient private supplier. Whether private production is optimal resolves from the trade-off between cost efficiency and a failure in meeting individual needs. We also analyse investments in monitoring.

Developing Relationships; consumers as a source for sustainable competitive a...Kevin Rommen
The world is changing thus business units should also be changing. The influences of social media and internet can no longer be neglected, case in point “Nestlé’s epic social media #fail”1. These changes are giving consumers more and more power in their relationship with business units. Furthermore the enormous amount of products available give consumers more and more possibilities to choose from. For example, at supermarkets in the USA you’ll find in the average week about 110 cereal brands in stock (Shum, 2004). The availability of that amount of different products/product-ranges within an industry raises the question to how business units can create competitive advantage within this enormous amount of competition, especially when the consumer is gaining power?
The study was undertaken with a purpose to study the attitude of students towards T.V advertisements on economic and social aspects. The sample comprised of 100 students selected by random sampling technique from Panjab University, Chandigarh. The findings revealed that advertisement helps to raise our standard of living whereas in social aspect an advertisement produces potentially negative side effects. Apart from that, the research serves as a good baseline for future research.
This paper estimates the impact of competition policy on total factor productivity growth for 22 industries in twelve OECD countries over 1995 to 2005. We find a positive and significant effect of competition policy as measured by created indexes. We provide results based on instrumental variables estimators and heterogeneous effects to support the causal nature of the established link. The effect is particularly strong for specific aspects of competition policy related to its institutional setup and antitrust activities. It is also strengthened by good legal systems, suggesting complementarities between competition policy and the efficiency of law enforcement institutions.
Strategic Management in Oral Care Product Market A Case Study of Colgate Palm...YogeshIJTSRD
Colgate is a Colgate Palmolive product line manufacturer, which produces, markets, and distributes oral care products like toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, and dental floss. In the year of accelerating growth, 2018, net revenues increased by 1.0 percent, whether from organic or net sales. The companys goal is to make the world a better place by providing oral healthcare knowledge and services. Finding more environmentally friendly ways to produce goods and packaging uses less plastic, water, and waste. Consumers are looking for more natural and sustainable goods, high growth opportunities across the board. Organic sales development in the toothpaste segment drove the rise in oral care products, followed by mouthwash. As a result, the focus is on toothpaste and mouthwash. Maintaining Colgates market and trade partner image is vital to selling its branded goods. Regulatory and Quality policies, such as Ethics and Compliance, Sustainability, Brand Security, and Product Safety, are used to protect and retain brand integrity. Negative publicity about its products, supply chain, ingredients, packaging, or staff, whether justified or not, can damage the brands image. Colgates branding approach strategy , the organizational structure, financial analysis, control application system , and the staff skillstyle follow ethical leadership. The CSR concepts shared values, including ethical responsibility to consumers customer centered approach , environmental responsibility to the society, and ethical leadership to its employees, are at the heart of the 7s Model. Thus, this case study proposes strategic management branding of Colgates oral care products through corporate social responsibility CSR .

Leniency policies and asymmetric punishment are regarded as potentially powerful anticorruption
tools, also in the light of their success in busting price-fixing cartels. It has been
argued, however, that the introduction of these policies in China in 1997 has not helped
fighting corruption. Following up on this view, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist
Party passed, in November 2015, a reform introducing heavier penalties, but also
restrictions to leniency. Properly designing and correctly evaluating these policies is difficult.
Corruption is only observed if detected, and an increase in convictions is consistent
with both reduced deterrence or improved detection. We map the evolution of the Chinese
anti-corruption legislation, collect data on corruption cases for the period 1986-2010, and
apply a new method to identify deterrence effects from changes in detected cases developed
for cartels by Miller (2009). We document a large and stable fall in corruption cases
starting immediately after the 1997 reform, consistent with a negative effect of the reform
on corruption detection, but under specific assumptions also with increased deterrence. To
resolve this ambiguity, we collect and analyze a random sample of case files from corruption
trials. Results point to a negative effect of the 1997 reform, linked to the increased leniency
also for bribe-takers cooperating after being denounced. This likely enhanced their ability
to retaliate against reporting bribe-givers – chilling detection through whistleblowing – as
predicted by theories on how these programs should (not) be designed.

Consumption Behavior; Electronics
Student’s Name
Institutional Affiliation
Topic description
Consumption behavior is the manner in which an audience responds to product marketing. Consumption behavior is also referred to as buying behavior, and it revolves around the buying intentions and attitudes of individuals. It is important for producers to understand the consumption behavior of existing and prospective customers; this way, they can make goods and services that align to customer tastes and preferences (Friedman, 2018). In addition to that, understanding consumption behavior helps producers to manufacture or process goods that match the aggregate demand of customers. It is not advisable for a business to engage in mass production without considering rough estimates for demand as such may lead to excess inventory that never manages to get off the shelves. This project will give invaluable insights with respect to the behavior of buyers towards electrical appliances.
Significance of the Project
The project is significant because it will answer a multiplicity of pertinent questions regarding market equilibrium of electronic appliances, the influence of Adam Smith's invisible hand in the electronics market, determinants of aggregate demand, and drivers of supply among others. As such, consumers, suppliers, producers, and investors will find the study insightful with respect to answering market questions they may have (Roos & Hahn, 2017). The significance of the research questions offered by the study is that it will make audiences more rational in the choices they make. First, after reading the study, buyers may decide to commit to buying high-quality products as opposed to those of less quality which require replacement every six months. What's more, a majority of the producers that read the study may be influenced to produce high-quality products that make their brand unique in the eyes of customers; with a promise of high quality and longevity of the products involved to customers. Third, the research may influence suppliers to be more committed to excellence.
Historical Data for Key Parameters
The steady sale of electronics in The US does seemed to have followed a clear pattern over time. The frequency with which consumers buy electronics seems quite high. Most producers are looking strike a balance between quality and price get the most customers. Where some are just trying to cash in with cheap and flashy items. The graph below depicts the time line for The US computer/software store sales from 1992 to 2015. Currently, the US Electronics Store Sales is in excess of $25 Billion USD annually.

Does Current Advertising Cause Future Sales?Trieu Nguyen
findings from a large-scale field experiment that allows us to study whether
there is a causal relationship between current advertising and future sales. The
experimental design overcomes limitations that have affected previous investigations of
this issue. We find that current advertising does affect future sales but the sign of the
effect varies depending on the customers targeted. For the firm’s best customers the
long-run effect of increases in current advertising is actually negative, while for other
customers the effect is positive. We argue that these outcomes reflect two competing
effects: brand-switching and inter-temporal substitution. Furthermore, our data suggest a way to distinguish between the informative and persuasive roles of advertising, providing insight into the mechanism by which advertising differentially affects various customer subsets

Increased competition in broadband telecommunication market led to a surge in campaigns and packages for customers. Whereas traditional economic theory assumed that abundance of alternatives is to be welcomed by customers, recent theories however, have emphasized that multiple choices may have a negative role in adoption or switching behavior. The unorthodox conclusions of negative impact of wide assortment of choices were studied through the lens of behavioral economics. Most notably, “anticipated regret” was identified to be major cause of choice deferral of purchase. This paper investigates the role of selection difficulty and anticipated regret on the intention of broadband subscribers to upgrade to higher connection speed. The result shows that there is a significant positive relationship between anticipated regret and decision avoidance. Results also indicate that selection difficulty has positive relationship with switching cost thus indirectly reducing the perceived net benefit of upgraded internet connection. This study, therefore, confirmed the significant impact of psychological barriers together with economic factors in influencing customers’ decisions in the telecommunication sector. This paper thus recommends managers of telecom firms and regulators to seek reducing anticipated regret and selection difficulty when promoting upgraded services even when such services are promising higher economic benefit.

Week #5-To Do List-CCH
Week 5: Introduction
Introduction To Compliance Documentation & Reporting
Proper documentation is an inherent component of delivery of care, not an add-on. One of the oldest battles in healthcare is that between the hospital Medical Records department and the admitting Physician to complete necessary documentation for the Patient’s Chart. The most common cause of loss of admitting privileges has been from this source. This process has only become more important and necessary with the increasing recognition of the importance of proper documentation for legal and ethical defense purposes.
Documentation also serves a number of financial aspects of patient care delivery, including billing, grant writing for research projects, medical research to discover future tests, procedures, and cures, and funding for government supported agencies and programs.
Objectives
To successfully complete this learning unit, you will be expected to:
Identify the uses for health care documentation.
Learn the essential components of quality documentation.
Categorize the document guidelines under the federal False Claims Act.
Identify the documentation required for compliance under the Federal Stark Law.
List the aspects of documentation compliance with regard to electronic health records.
Identify the important issues regarding ethical coding practices.
Learn the most common illegal practices for HIM reporting.
Identify the key concerns under the federal False Claims Act that relate to reporting.
Determine the impact of the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) on HIM processes in physicians’ offices.
Identify the circumstances in which a health care professional is mandated to report a patient’s diagnosis.
Week 5: Discussion
Answer the following questions:
Review the various uses for health care documentation and discuss how each has an impact on the health care delivery system
Discuss procedures you might enact in your facility to avoid violating the False Claims Act
Discuss why physician offices should participate in PQRI
Week 5: Case Study Assignment

The Wisdom of Some Do We Always Need HighConsensus to Shape.docxpelise1
The Wisdom of Some: Do We Always Need High
Consensus to Shape Consumer Behavior?
Michael R. Sciandra, Cait Lamberton, and
Rebecca Walker Reczek
From the Food and Drug Administration’s efforts to prompt healthier eating to the Environmental Protection
Agency’s desire to prompt people to engage in environmentally friendly behaviors, a wide range of policy
makers aim to persuade consumers. To do so, they must decide how and whether to use information about
the behavior of other consumers as part of their persuasive message. In four experimental studies, the
authors demonstrate that the persuasive advantage of high- versus low-consensus information depends
on the target consumer’s trait level of susceptibility to interpersonal influence (SII). Low-SII consumers
differentiate between low- and high-consensus information, such that they are more persuaded by
high-consensus information. In contrast, high-SII consumers find any cue about the behavior of others
persuasive, regardless of whether it is high or low consensus. Importantly, this finding suggests that policy
makers may find success motivating behavioral change even in low-consensus situations. The authors close
by reporting data from two broadscale correlational surveys that identify behavioral, psychographic, and
demographic characteristics related to consumer SII as well as domains in which low consensus currently
exists, so that policy makers can identify and target these individuals and related issues.
Keywords: persuasion, susceptibility to interpersonal influence, social norms marketing, consensus, social proof
P
olicy makers often want to persuade people to change
their thoughts and behaviors. For example, politicians
frequently stump for votes, advocate for change, and seek
support for new policies or legislation. Similarly, state and local
governmental agencies and nonprofit nongovernmental orga-
nizations (NGOs) continually encourage consumers to engage
in a multitude of desirable behaviors, including eating healthy
foods, staying physically active, recycling, and conserving en-
ergy. As such, policy makers frequently employ persuasive
messages designed to encourage specific behaviors. For ex-
ample, in May 2015, New York City launched a campaign de-
signed to reduce consumer waste and generated awareness
through persuasive messages on buses and subways and in
digital communications (Gerlat 2015).
Prior research in psychology and marketing has indicated that
the success of such persuasive messages is largely contingent on
two factors: (1) the credibility of the message source (i.e., the
policy maker or organization; Petty and Briñol 2008) and (2) the
strength or quality of the message argument (i.e., how strong
a case is made for the advocated attitude or behavior; Petty and
Cacioppo 1984). In general, most policy makers are endowed
with source credibility by virtue of political power (in the case of
elected officials), legal authority (e.g., state and local govern-
ment age.

Running head: EFFECT OF ADVERTISING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICE MARKETING
EFFECT OF ADVERTISING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICE MARKETING 3
Effects of Advertising on the performance of Service Marketing.
Research Statement
Purpose
The overall purpose of this research is to improve the understanding on advertising programs.
Background and Significance
According to Tellis & Ambler (2007) much knowledge about advertising and income it earns should not hinder anyone from learning that some effects lead to certain reactions, and such knowledge should be used to improve results and evade mistakes. The field of advertising management consists of systems of interacting institutions and organizations, all of which play vital roles during the advertising process. The core of the advertising process includes the organizations that provide the financial resources that support advertising.
According to Clow & Stevens (2009) the overall managerial and financial support are provided by the advertiser for developing advertisements and acquisition of media, time and space, although other institutions are involved during the process. A crucial point is developing an advertising program for the advertiser. In circumstances where several different commodities are offered by the advertising organization, separate programs may be developed for each.
Many (1981) analyzes that advertising today finds itself in serious binds. With a down economy, the 9/11 tragedy and new technology may threaten advertising as a strategic alternative. Advertising will only ensure survival and growth by focusing on its effectiveness. Advertisers expect results based on stated objectives. Clients anticipate proof that must lead to sales or actually yield sales.
Advertising plays a significant role in the society, predominantly in industrialized countries owning well established mass communications infrastructures. ...
An analytical framework on deceptive Advertising with reference to Hyderabad ...ijtsrd
"This research has documented that consumers can be
highly vulnerable to misleading advertising claims
that lead them to acquire false information, form
misperceptions, as the problems in consumer world
are increasing very fast and most of the adver
agencies and manufacturing firms waiting such
opportunities to lure the consumers through
deceptions consumer is already involved in searching
solutions and become involved in consumptive
behaviors to their detriment. The experimental
studies, in particular, explore the possible causal
relationships between claims and consumer
psychological or behavioral responses to map the
claims many a times the mapping goes in a favor of
consumers as they feel that the claims that are raised
by the companies goes downward leading to
dissatisfaction by the consumer."

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Particularly in the case of online PR, negative
consumer sentiment can be directly correlated
with diminished customer perception and
consequent negative brand reputation (Harris &
De Chernatony, 2001). The growing
phenomenon of sentiment analysis further
indicates that consumers have a stronger
propensity to ingest negative brand messages as
opposed to positive corporate messages,
particularly in cases of PR crises (Pang & Lee,
2008). Furthermore, research proposes the
penalties of reputation reside in the behaviour
that consumers demonstrate towards firms
whereby advocacy, commitment and
cooperation are critical outcomes of a positive
reputation, benefitting brand equity goals (Eberl
& Schwaiger, 2005).
The first main point is that this is an innovative
idea. It hasn't been done before and therefore
will mean the company would get the upper
hand over their competition as well as a new
image as being a cleaner and greener company
from their customers. This is because the
electric cars won't be producing as much of
their green house gases. Times are changing
and electric cars are becoming better and more
useful. So it's a matter of time before the black
cabs need to change. This will get the business a
head start into it and get ahead of their
competition. If the London Taxi Company
accepted our proposal, the first step would be
to possibly look into borrowing some money to
kick off the process of buying new engine parts
and installing them to the taxis .

This demonstrates that in order to achieve this end,
close cooperation was necessary with the
community health-care providers, and a
multidisciplinary consultant team was needed to
coordinate the care provision. This research
demonstrated that intervention patients spent a
smaller proportion of the last month of life in
nursing homes than was possible for the control
sample (Jordhøy et al. 2010). This illustrated that to
increase the proportion of patients who were able
to die at home, a significant investment of resources
would be needed. This manifested itself in the need
for greater levels of training in palliative care for
community care staff, thus increasing the costs
associated with the provision of care (Jordhøy et al.
2010).
CNAs nationally, statewide, and locally provide
anesthetics before and after surgical, obstetric, and
therapeutic procedures; they practice in hospitals,
ambulatory surgical centers and dental offices and are
often the sole anesthesia providers in many rural
hospitals (AANA). Moreover, internationally, CNAs are
very widely used. Where CNP and CNS roles are still
developing, CNAs are presently utilized in greater than
half of the world's nearly two hundred countries.
Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) Clinical nurse
specialists, similar to CNPs, are nationally recognized
through professional certification boards, and a CNS's
scope of practice is regulated by one's individual state
board of nursing. The CNS role affords tremendous

This introductory chapter outlines the central
research context and introduces key concepts. In
order to understand the nature and importance of
knowledge transfers, this chapter defines the
meaning of knowledge drawing on both its tacit
and explicit forms. In addition, it introduces the
reader to the growing importance of international
strategic alliances, with a central focus on the
Chinese market. Recognising that there is a strong
link between strategic alliances and competitive
success in the literature, this research focuses upon
the Chinese market in particular in order to
understand what such alliances look like, the
nature of knowledge transfers and the specific
challenges that exist within this growing and
important market
Ethical issues generally arise when marketers fail
to understand risks of function, value or use of a
product. Pressures can arise from substituting
inferior materials to minimize costs or failing to
inform customers about existing conditions or
changes in product quality. Many car, gas and
tobacco companies have experienced negative
publicity associated with design or safety issues
(as well as global warming, water pollution, noise
and congestion issues) that resulted in control of
their behavior by laws, regulations and higher
taxations. Developing and selling a product which
does not harm the environment refers to 'green
marketing' and must focus on long-term as well as
short-term results.

The literature review presented in the

little attention had been directed specifically

The application of scientific management
resulted in significant productivity increases.
However, the emphasis on specialization was to
become one of the targets of critics of scientific
management. They argued, that specialization
was ultimately inefficient but, more
importantly; it did not allow people to achieve
their full potential at work. (Henry L. Tosi et al,
1994:9) Scientific management is often referred
to as a machine theory model. It adopts an
instrumental view of human behaviour together
with the application of specialization and
standard procedures of work.

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the
extent to which the law of criminal evidence has
managed to strike an appropriate balance between
protecting the victims of sexual assault, who are
usually the prime witnesses in prosecution
proceedings, on the one hand, and protecting the
due process rights of defendants charged with these
crimes, in particular the right to properly test the
evidence which has been admitted against them, on
the other? The secondary aim of this research is to
derive recommendations for reform to the law of
criminal evidence to effect a more appropriate
balance between protecting the victims of sexual
assault on the one hand, and protecting the due

And it will sometimes allow a plaintiff to leapfrog the
immediate recipient and claim against a third party
who received, in different assets, value which
proceeded from him. For all its utility tracing is one of

restitution. It is caught on the horns of a dilemma.
The longer its reach and therefore the greater its
potency against fraud, the more difficult it is to
describe exactly how it works; and the more one
insists on the need for an accurate and intelligible
account of how it works, the greater the danger of
shortening its reach. But there is no real doubt as to
how this dilemma must be resolved. The law cannot
tolerate figures which are beyond rational
description. If there turn out to be limits to what can
intelligibly be done by tracing, other weapons will
have to be invoked.

immediate recipient and claim against a third party
who received, in different assets, value which
proceeded from him. For all its utility tracing is one of
the least perfectly understood areas of the law of
restitution. It is caught on the horns of a dilemma.
The longer its reach and therefore the greater its
potency against fraud, the more difficult it is to
describe exactly how it works; and the more one
insists on the need for an accurate and intelligible
account of how it works, the greater the danger of
shortening its reach. But there is no real doubt as to
how this dilemma must be resolved. The law cannot
tolerate figures which are beyond rational
description. If there turn out to be limits to what can
intelligibly be done by tracing, other weapons will
have to be invoked.
