In other words, if you ask for help about the actions of someone else but have acted wrongly, then you do not have clean hands and you may not receive the help you seek.

The law of trusts was constructed as an adjunct to the law of property , to tend to situations in which one person holds legal title to a property, but the courts decided it is fair, just or "equitable" that another person should benefit from the property. Another illustration of the application of this equitable principle was in connection with motor vehicle insurance. In England, there was a distinction drawn between the jurisdiction of the law courts and that of the chancery court. This was combined with a new practice of circuits, whereby royal justices travelled to different counties holding court as Justices in Eyre. The history of equity and trusts concerns the development of the body of rules known as equity , English trust law and its spread into a modern body of trust law around Commonwealth and the United States. If the law firmly denied a cause of action or suggested equities between the parties were as a matter of policy equal, equity would provide no relief; if the law did provide relief, then the applicant would be obligated to bring a legal, rather than equitable action. But the court of equity, where it can, puts the litigating parties on a footing of equality. To receive equitable relief , the petitioning party must be willing to complete all of its own obligations as well. Hughes , P.

  • An Economic Analysis of Law Versus Equity
    AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF LAW VERSUS EQUITY Henry E. Smith* October 22, 2010 I. INTRODUCTION Like “property,” the terms “equity” and “equitable” are hardly missing from legal discourse. They can refer to fairness, a type of jurisdiction, types of remedies and defenses, an owner’s stake in an asset subject to a security interest and other ownership interests, as well as a set of maxims, among other things. These uses of “equity” and “equitable” all trace back to courts of equity, which, with some exceptions, ceased to exist as separate courts or even as a distinct form of jurisdiction by the early twentieth century.1 So the term “equity” might seem to be an etymological curiosity. This paper challenges that view. It argues that the notion of equity is functionally motivated and can be given an economic analysis under which it makes sense to have a separate decision making mode that is loosely identified with historical equity jurisdiction and jurisprudence. * Fessenden Professor of Law, Harvard Law School.

  • Imagereal Capture
    EQUITABLE ADEMPTION WITHIN THE FAMILY Introduction A parent's generosity towards a child may often cause a family dispute. In particular, if one child has received a substantial gift of money or other material benefits during the parent's lifetime, other children will often look to the parent's will, and may invoke the law with regard to its provisions, in order to redress what they perceive as an injustice to themselves. A parent, it is said, has a duty to treat children equally. This is not, of course, in any sense a legal duty; but the law nevertheless recognizes that in some cir- cumstances a child benefited by a parent should account for that benefit to his or her brothers and sisters. The mechanism available for this purpose is the equitable doc- trine of ademption,' otherwise known as the doctrine of satisfac- *R.A , LI,.B., LL.M. Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Western Australia 1. The word "ademption" in its legal usage applies to three quite different situations: first, where the subject-matter of a specific legacy is disposed of by a testator inter uluos or otherwise ceases to exist so that it forms no part of his estate at death; second, where a legacy is glven for a particular purpose and is followed by a gift tnter u~uosby the testator to the legatee for substantially the same purpose; third, where a portion given Inter L'ZUOS is regarded in equity as an adernption of a prior testamentary portion. This article is concerned only with the third of these situations.

  • “Clean Hands” Doctrine
    Announcing the “Clean Hands” Doctrine T. Leigh Anenson, J.D., LL.M, Ph.D.* This Article offers an analysis of the “clean hands” doctrine (unclean hands), a defense that traditionally bars the equitable relief otherwise available in litigation. The doctrine spans every conceivable controversy and effectively eliminates rights. A number of state and federal courts no longer restrict unclean hands to equitable remedies or preserve the substantive version of the defense. It has also been assimilated into statutory law. The defense is additionally reproducing and multiplying into more distinctive doctrines, thus magnifying its impact. Despite its approval in the courts, the equitable defense of unclean hands has been largely disregarded or simply disparaged since the last century. Prior research on unclean hands divided the defense into topical areas of the law. Consistent with this approach, the conclusion reached was that it lacked cohesion and shared properties. This study sees things differently. It offers a common language to help avoid compartmentalization along with a unified framework to provide a more precise way of understanding the defense. Advancing an overarching theory and structure of the defense should better clarify not only when the doctrine should be allowed, but also why it may be applied differently in different circumstances.

    FACULTY OF JURIDICAL SCIENCES E- CONTENT COURSE: BBALLB-Vth Sem SUBJECT: EQUITY AND TRUST SUBJECT CODE: BBL 506 NAME OF FACULTY: DR. ANKUR SRIVASTAVA BRAND GUIDELINE ---------------------------------------------------- Topic Font Name- Candara Bold Font Size- 20 Font Color- White --------------------------------------------------- Heading Font Name- Arial (Bold) Lecture-11 Font Size- 16 LECTURE-11 In the last module, we considered the history of equity, how the doctrines of equity were introduced into India, the relation between Equity and Common Law and the nature of equitable rights. In this unit, we will consider the maxims of equity. These are guidelines of the jurisdiction of Equity which have been developed throughout its history. They should not be regarded as rigid formulae for the application of equitable rules, but rather as a collection of general principles which can be molded or adapted to suit the circumstances of the individual case. The maxims have two main purposes: (i) To show the historical development of equitable rules and procedure; (ii) To guide the application of those rules at the present and in the future. Furthermore, as far as the study of equity is concerned, they are a convenient and meaningful way of classifying equitable principles and the many varied areas in which they are to be found. Since many of the maxims overlap, each should not be considered in isolation from the others. Maxim: Equity will not suffer a wrong to be without a remedy: This maxim is at the root of all equitable jurisdiction. It should not be interpreted as meaning that every moral wrong was remedied by Equity.

  • Equity's Doctrine of Unclean Hands Still Has Serious Teeth, at Least in the World of Trusts (Part 2)
    Title Equity’s doctrine of unclean hands still has serious teeth, at least in the world of trusts (Part 2) Text. In an action for breach of trust, the unclean hands of the plaintiff-beneficiary, assuming they are in fact unclean, could well be an effective equitable defense. The Restatement of Restitution (1937), specifically § 140, provides that “a person may be prevented from obtaining restitution for a benefit because of his criminal or other wrongful conduct in connection with the transaction on which his claim is based.” Equity’s maxims as they apply to the trust relationship, of which the doctrine of unclean hands is one, are catalogued in §8.12 of Loring and Rounds: A Trustee’s Handbook (2021), which section is reproduced in relevant parts in the appendix below. The maxims’ relevance to the trust relationship is addressed in the footnoting to the excerpt. "The doctrine of unclean hands is unique to equity and has no analog at law. Unlike most legal doctrines, its aim is not to aid the search for truth, or even promote justice for the litigants. Its purpose is protection of the reputation of equity itself, and of those courts that exist to provide equity. The awesome power of equity, as opposed to the limited civil power of the law courts, would be intolerable unless stringently cabined by a doctrine under which Chancery withholds this power where invoked by wrongdoers whose bad acts are a part of the cause of action itself.” In re Niki & Darren Irrev.

  • Understanding the Nature of Equitable Judicial Decision-Making © 2020 PAGE 1
    The 12 Principles of Equity1 In the last fifty years American Jurisprudence has lost much of its “prudence” as it has wandered away from its traditional nature of Balancing Law & Equity. The preponderance of justice is now placed on Law, often neglecting Equity, causing jurisprudence to be more and more adversarial. The Principles of Equity – sometimes referred to as the “law’s conscience” are almost forgotten and seldom employed as a basis of court-room advocacy and judicial decision-making. This is especially important today in long-term contracts, as people and circumstances may have changed dramatically since the inception of the “deal.” The 12 Principles of Equity aims to bring Law and Equity into a better equilibrium. We suggest referencing these (in an contract’s appendix) to enable future adjustment terms and conditions and to reduce the chance of litigation in the future. Summary of the 12 Principles of Equity 1) Equity directs: “Do What Should Have Been Done” 2) Equity Favors the Trustworthy 3) Equity Supports Fiduciary Responsibility 4) Equity Abhors a Forfeiture 5) The Wronged Shall Not Suffer In Equity Without Remedy 6) Equity Delights in Doing Justice, Aiming for Fairness, but Not Just by Halves 7) One Who Seeks Equity Must Do Equity 8) He Who Comes Into Equity Must Come With Clean Hands 9) Equity Aids the Honest & Vigilant, Not the Shrewd & Indolent 10) Equity Does Not Tolerate Frivolity, Malice, Abuse of Law or the Cloak of Fraud 11) Equity Follows the Law 12) Equity Honors Time 1. Equity Directs: “Do What Should Have Been Done” In Latin: Verum quid sit iniuria This maxim means that if a contract, agreement, or relationship was unclear, ambiguous, contradictory, or misconstrued at the outset, in Equity, the arrangement can be righted to correct the wrongs.

  • Maxims of Equity
    Maxims of Equity Maxims of Equity 1. EQUITY WILL NOT SUFFER A WRONG TO BE WITHOUT A REMEDY Meaning Where there is a right there is a remedy. This idea is expressed in the Latin Maxim ubi jus ibi remedium. It means that no wrong should go unredressed if it is capable of being remedied by courts. This maxim indicates the width of the scope and the basis of on which the structure of equity rests. This maxim imports that where the common law confers a right, it gives also a remedy or right of action for interference with or infringement of that right. Application and cases In Ashby v. White, wherein a qualified voter was not allowed to vote and who therefore sued the returning officer, it was held that if the law gives a man a right, he must have a means to maintain it, and a remedy, if he is injured in the enjoyment of it. In cases where some document was with the defendant and it was necessary for the plaintiff to obtain its discovery or production, a recourse to the Chancery Courts had to be made for the Common Law becoming „wrongs without remedies‟. Limitation a) If there is a breach of a moral right only. b) If the right and remedy both were in within the jurisdiction of the Common Law Courts. c) Where due to his own negligence a party either destroyed or allowed to be destroyed, the evidence in his own favour or waived his right to an equitable remedy. Recognition i) The Trust Act ii) Section 9 of CPC- entitles a civil court to entertain all kinds of suits unless they are prohibited.
