BASES FOR A CHILEAN LAW OF UNJUSTIFIED ENRICHMENT, TOWARDS THE ABANDONMENT OF A UNITARY APPROACH
This article, after formulating a general critique of the prevailing approach in the national doctrine regarding unjustified enrichment, makes a schematic reconstruction of the Law of unjustified enrichment and presents a typology of cases that give or should give rise to restitution actions. Several archetypal cases of unjustified enrichment are identified and the differences of the corresponding actions are exposed with regard to their functions, requirements and restitution measures. After outlining the legal regime that the Chilean Civil Code associates with each archetypal case, it is proposed that the non-regulated cases be assimilated to those that are, in order to apply the most appropriate rules to them. Finally, it is proposed to abandon the unitary approach that has prevailed in the national doctrine and move towards a study of the particularities of the archetypal cases of unjustified enrichment, so that the unregulated cases are assimilated to those that are, applying to those the rules that are most appropriate.

Two differences between the chilean and french approaches to unjustified enrichment?
This paper reviews the position of Chilean case law and legal scholarship regarding unjustified enrichment. It identifies two ways in which recent case law and legal scholarship depart from their traditional position based on French law and explores some of the issues these developments could raise. It argues that the provisions on unjustified enrichment recently introduced to the French Civil Code may help dealing with the challenges imposed by an institution which has traditionally received little attention in Chilean law.

CONSTRUCCIÓN EN SUELO AJENO A CIENCIA Y PACIENCIA DEL DUEÑO DEL TERRENO: UNA APROXIMACIÓN DOGMÁTICA

Adicionalmente, propone que la construcción en suelo ajeno es una hipótesis de enriquecimiento injustificado y que, desde esa perspectiva, la idea dogmática que subyace al inc. segundo del art. 669 del Código Civil es la aquiescencia de la mejora por parte del dueño del terreno, lo que justifica el deber de pagar el valor total de la obra. -
