Doctrines of the courts of equity: the clean hands doctrine, trusts and fiduciary duty, the injunction and the plea in equity, irreparable injury, subrogation, marshalling of assets, the rule of sevens and personal injury trusts. A doctrine belongs here when its cited article describes a rule of equity or a trust. It excludes tort liability rules. Maxims and remedies that began in the Court of Chancery belong here even when a modern statute now governs them.
