Hi,

I am looking for claims, judicial and academic (in textbooks and otherwise), that a particular equitable doctrine or the law of equity generally does equity in Aristotle's sense, both those that mention Aristotle by name, and those that do not but that refer to the Aristotelian idea that equity corrects for errors arising from the generality of law.  I believe the first judicial invocation of that idea is in The Earl of Oxford's Case.  I'd be grateful for any references anyone might be able to provide.

Many thanks, and apologies for cross-posting.

Best,

Dennis
