Unclean Hands Doctrine

The Unclean Hands Doctrine at its most simplest is the law that requires you to be devoid of any wrong doing when filing a lawsuit against another.

Here is a sample of how you would title it in your complaint or your
affirmative defense.

Quiet Title Action / Cancellation of Instrument.

PLAINTIFF HAS UNCLEAN HANDS AND IS NOT ENTITLED TO THE EQUITABLE RELIEF SOUGHT.

Court:

Unclean Hands Doctrine

This lawsuit seeks equitable relief, which should be denied because plaintiff has unclean hands. Points and Authority:

'Under the 'unclean hands' doctrine, a party is barred from relief if he has engaged in any unconscientious conduct directly related to the transaction or matter before the court." (DeRosa v. Transamerica Title Insurance Co. (1989) 213 Cal.App.3d 1390, 1395, 262 Cal.Rptr. 370.)

Blah, blah, blah, and so on and so...

Here, as demonstrated above, plaintiff engaged in abusive and unconscientious conduct directly related to the lawsuit, the judgment in which this lawsuit seeks to set aside.

This includes attempting to deprive defendant of his right to petition the government through use of litigation to harass him, falsification/concealment of crucial evidence, [FN20] improper attempts to depose Main Action jurors and court personnel, efforts to deprive defendant of counsel, key witnesses and evidence, and subjecting him to the "Fair Game" policy.

Therefore, equitable relief should be denied because of plaintiff's unclean hands. If you come into court seeking the benefit of equity, you cannot have engaged in misconduct in the cause from which you are seeking relief in equity).

Examples are express or implied legal relationships (you have a fiduciary obligation to someone, you have a legal duty to represent their interests), and familial relationships. Parents have a fiduciary obligation to their children, spouses have a fiduciary obligation.
