Disgorgement of Profits

Disgorgement of profits is a legal remedy aimed at preventing unjust enrichment. It requires individuals or companies that have made profits through unlawful or unethical actions to return those profits. For example, if a business gains money from insider trading, it might be ordered to give back those profits to ensure they don't benefit from wrongdoing. The idea is to uphold fairness and discourage misconduct by ensuring that wrongdoers cannot keep gains earned through unethical means.
