The course concerns the remedies commonly claimed in commercial litigation and arbitration. These include, for example, compensatory damages, restitution, accounts of profits, injunctions, specific performance and actions for an agreed sum, rescission, termination for breach, declarations and interest. These topics will be approached by a close analysis of case law. This analysis will give access to deeper questions such as the nature and purpose of a remedy; the relationship between substantive rights and remedies; the considerations that are relevant in crafting relief; the nature and varieties of judicial discretion; and the modern relationship between the law and equity.
