Where equities are equal, the law will prevail. He who seeks equity must do equity. He who seeks equity must have clean hands. Equity aids the vigilant, not those who sleep on their rights. Equity will not concern itself with abstract wrongs.
Equity abhors a forfeiture.
Equity does not require an idle gesture. Equity will not permit a party to profit by his own wrong. Equity delights to do justice, and not by halves. Equity will take jurisdiction to avoid a multiplicity of suits.
