Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure – ORCP 2

When you are dealing with equitable claims or arguments, re-read ORCP 2.  The enactment of the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure only affected procedure, not the substance of Oregon’s equitable rules.  ORCP 2; see, McKinley v. Weidner, 73 Or App 396, 400, 698 P2d 983 (1985) (“clean hands” doctrine cannot be applied to an action at law.)
