They’re like buses: a review of recent appellate decisions on equitable remedies

Abstract It seems that appellate decisions on equitable remedies are like buses. You wait ages for a judgment, and then Mitchell v Al Jaber [2024] BCC 934, Lifestyle Equities CV v Ahmed [2025] AC 1, Recovery Partners GP Ltd v Rukhadze [2025] 2 WLR 529, and Stevens v Hotel Portfolio II UK Ltd [2025] UKSC 28 all come along at once. This article will give a tour of these judgments and how they have left the law, via a route which stops off at constructive trusts of profits, accounts of profits, and equitable compensation.
