The most usual remedy at common law is a personal claim against the recipient for the value of the property they have received. In the case of money, the action will be for money had and received. According to Millett J in Agip (Africa) Ltd v Jackson [1990] Ch 265:

Tracing at common law ... serves an evidential purpose. The cause of action is for money had and received. Tracing at common law enables the defendant to be identified as the recipient of the plaintiff’s money and the measure of his liability to be determined by the amount of the plaintiff’s money he is shown to have received.
