Clean Hands Act Definition

The Clean Hands Doctrine is an equitable defense in which a defendant argues that a plaintiff is not entitled to obtain an equitable remedy because the plaintiff has acted unethically or in bad faith with respect to the subject of the complaint – having “unclean hands”.

Key Principles

Equity must come with clean hands: The doctrine emphasizes that those seeking equitable relief must have acted fairly and without wrongdoing in relation to the matter at issue.

Burden of proof: The defendant has the burden of proof to show that the plaintiff is not acting in good faith.

Relates to the subject matter: The plaintiff’s wrongdoing must be directly related to the subject of the complaint, not unrelated or extraneous conduct.
