Doctrine of Superior Equities Law and Legal Definition
Doctrine of Superior Equities is a principle applicable to Insurance law. This rule says that a right of subrogation may be invoked against another party only if that party's guilty conduct renders the party's equity inferior to that of the insured. An insurer cannot recover from anyone whose equities are equal or superior to the insurers.
