​“Let the hand receiving it be ever so chaste, yet if it comes through a corrupt polluted channel, the obligation of restitution will follow it.”- Lord Commissioner Wilmot in the case of Bridgeman v Green (1757) Wilm 58

Under What Circumstance Can a Deed Be Set Aside in Trinidad and Tobago?
In this article, we examine the legal circumstances under which a Deed may be set aside in Trinidad and Tobago. The term "setting aside" refers to a court-ordered process that renders a previously executed Deed invalid or ineffective. When a Deed is set aside, it is treated as null and void—either from the beginning (void ab initio) or from the date of the court's ruling—meaning it has no legal effect. This may occur for various reasons, including fraud, misrepresentation, undue influence, mistake, or lack of capacity.

Let’s explore the legal grounds on which such an action may be taken, the procedures involved, and relevant case law or statutory provisions that govern these situations.
