Summary/Abstract: Rules on restitution for improvements made to someone else’s property can be found in various branches of Slovenian private law, such as the law of unjustified enrichment, negotiorum gestio, contract law and property law. Even though to some extent these rules deal with very similar situations, they differ in various aspects. While some of them are more favourable to the creditors in getting as much of their investment back as possible, others are more inclined toward protecting the debtor against forced financing of another’s economic decisions. This paper discusses some open dilemmas concerning restitution of improvements made to someone else’s property in Slovenian contract law. More precisely, it deals with restitutionary consequences of failed sales, lease and construction contracts and approaches this topic from a comparative perspective.
