    Solution

    in pari delicto - A Latin phrase commonly used in tort and contract law which means “in equal fault.” This is doctrine states that there is a bar to a plaintiff’s recovery of damages for a wrong the plaintiff participated in and serves as an equitable defense. Courts are therefore reluctant to award relief to plaintiffs who have unclean hands.  In pari delicto is similar to but distinct from the related concepts of contributory negligence and comparative negligence.
