Equity and Financial Risk Allocation
LAWS5174
The objective of this unit is to introduce the role of equity as a potential mechanism for allocating risk in commercial transactions. The unit introduces equitable doctrines, such as the doctrines of contribution, subrogation, marshalling and set-off, and explores how these doctrines assist in determining how parties in a commercial transaction should bear the financial risk. It also compares and contrasts the equitable principles with analogous common law rules and State legislative provisions (where relevant).
