This collection of essays interrogates significant issues at the
forefront of scholarship and legal practice in the field of money
remedies in equity. Chapters address the contentious and developing
field of equitable compensation, including: the nature of equitable
compensation; the relevant causation inquiry for equitable
compensation; whether notions of contribution apply to multiple
agents; accessorial liability; the role of discretion in limiting
equitable compensation; which wrongs yield equitable compensation;
and the extent to which compensation in equity differs from money
remedies at common law. Other chapters examine the remedy of
disgorgement of profit, and specifically the theoretical basis of
that remedy, its application in the context of fiduciary
obligations, and third-party issues. A number of chapters also
examine the interrelationship between loss- and gain-based money
relief. In addressing these issues the book includes both doctrinal
and theoretical perspectives, and brings together leading equity
scholars and judges from across the common law world.
