I just wanted to note that I was the one who added the contract law template, and then removed it shortly thereafter. While I don't have any concrete information I don't dispute that this defense is used mostly in contract law (that's where I was introduced to it), inasmuch as contract disputes form a large proportion of litigation, especially seeking equitable remedies. I just was not sure that it's appropriate to use a "Contract Law" template for something that is not just a contracts concept. NTK 16:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
A lot on this page is about equitable remedies in general and not specific to the "unclean hands" doctrine. Should this material be moved to the equitable remedy page? Chris R 07:26, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
The "Hank Hardnose" example is a bad one. If Hank is suing for breach of contract, he's probably suing for damages, not an equitable remedy. Also, on the facts, Grace would be much better off arguing fraudulent misrepresentation than relying on unclean hands. Dale Clapperton (talk) 14:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
