Equitable doctrine refers to a set of legal principles that govern fairness and justice in the resolution of disputes, often applied when strict application of the law would lead to unjust outcomes.

Equitable remedies, like injunctions or specific performance, can also be granted when monetary damages are inadequate. Overall, equitable doctrine aims to promote fairness in legal proceedings.

The doctrine of equitable restitution is a legal principle that allows a party to recover benefits conferred upon another when it would be unjust for the recipient to retain those benefits without compensating the provider. This doctrine is often applied in cases where no formal contract exists, or when a contract is unenforceable.
