Unclean hands, sometimes clean hands doctrine or dirty hands doctrine is an equitable defense in which the defendant argues that the plaintiff is not entitled to obtain an equitable remedy on account of the fact that the plaintiff is acting unethically or has acted in bad faith with respect to the subject of the complaint-that is, with "unclean hands".

Unclean hands means that a court is not going to help someone who sues another person for an act that was illegal to begin with. It might mean that a contract between parties was illegal and therefore, not valid.
