The equitable action in unjust enrichment: Ambiguity and error
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
The article discusses the two issues including ambiguity and error in the statement regarding equitable remedy that will necessarily involve discretion and questions of fairness in the judgment held in the Supreme Court case Garland v. Consumers' Gas Co. in Canada. It explains why unjust ought is not to be considered equitable in the sense of being, attributable to the Chancellor's jurisdiction, based on broad discretion or confined to a subsidiary gap-filling role. It is concluded that the issue concerning the Canadian law of unjust enrichment has no jurisdiction for resolving restitutionary claims in terms of broad discretion.
