Take Notice. Equitable Subrogation is forward looking rooted in the equity maxim... equity regards done what ought to be done. Equitable subrogation is not founded upon contract, but is the creation of equity, and is enforced solely for accomplishing the end of substantial justice. It is the mode by which equity adopts to compel the ultimate payment of a debt by one who, in justice and good conscience, ought to pay. Equity delights in equality. Equity will not suffer a wrong without remedy. Equity will not allow a statute to be used as a cloak for fraud.

Take Notice. " The same equity which seeks to prevent unearned en-richment of one party, at the expense of another, by actions for reimbursement, con-tribution, and exoneration, operates here, by creating a relation somewhat analogous to a constructive trust, in favor of the subrogee, or party making the payment, in all legal rights held by the creditor, and the subrogee may proceed to enforce the trust.

2343 ( 1919 ). Lackawanna Trust Co. v. Gomeringer, 236 Pa. 179, 84 Atl. 757 ( 1912 ).

Pomeroy has had in this respect a profound influence on American courts who were evidently led to conceive of sub-rogation as but another remedy for unjust enrichment ; but the early cases will hardly support sc ) broad a statement. The similarity between liens and subrogation is obvious where subrogation results in a lien. But the similarity to which we here refer lies both in the equities upon which such relief is based and in the method of enforcement.
