Abstract

The chapter analyses variations on equity and related concepts that originate in equity. In particular, it studies equality, reasonableness, estoppel, acquiescence, good faith, unjust enrichment, the clean hands doctrine, abuse of rights, and proportionality. The chapter probes these concepts to demonstrate that equity lies deep in the international law mainstream and is applied even if we are not constantly aware of this. The chapter further aims to topple the myth that some forms of equity, notably contra legem equity, are only applied if the parties agree. It suggests that some such variations on equity or equitable principles, notably the clean hands doctrine and abuse of rights, can be seen as permissible applications of contra legem equity without the parties’ agreement – with the caveat that equity cannot truly exist contra legem.
公平和相关概念的变化
本章分析了衡平法的变体以及源于衡平法的相关概念。特别地,它研究了平等、合理性、禁止反悔、默许、善意、不当得利、清白原则、滥用权利和相称性。本章对这些概念进行了探讨,以证明衡平法深植于国际法主流之中,即使我们没有经常意识到这一点,它也在适用。本章进一步旨在推翻某些形式的衡平法,特别是反法律衡平法,只有在当事人同意的情况下才适用的神话。它表明,衡平法或衡平法原则的某些此类变化,特别是清白原则和滥用权利,可以被视为未经双方协议的对法衡平法的允许适用- -附带的警告是,对法衡平法不可能真正存在。
