Remedies

Constructive Trust

It is an equitable remedy and a court-ordered obligation for one party who has been unjustly enriched at the expense of another to return the relevant property or assets to the injured party.

<03J,

Resulting Trust

Where one party has provided all or part of the consideration for purchase of property, but title to the property is taken in another party's name, a resulting trust will be imposed.

<03J,

Unclean Hands

This defense is that the plaintiff should not be entitled to equity because she herself has engaged in a wrong in the transaction for which she claims injury.

<03J,

Laches

A plaintiff cannot bring an action once an unreasonable amount of time has passed after the injury and the delay has somehow prejudiced the defendant.
