Abstract

To aid in these efforts, this Article provides a survey of the legal doctrines and defenses commonly encountered in mineral royalty mispayment cases, including whether the payor is entitled to self-help recoupment of overpaid royalties. This Article is not a comprehensive study on all aspects of royalty mispayments, but instead provides a practical overview of the foundational legal theories underlying typical mispayment claims and defenses.
