“Equitable Subrogation” Doctrine Defined

The Second Department explained the concept of “equitable subrogation” re: paying the debt of another:

The doctrine of equitable subrogation “is broad enough to include every instance in which one party pays a debt for which another is primarily answerable and which in equity and good conscience should have been discharged by the latter, so long as the payment was made either under compulsion or for the protection of some interest of the party making the payment, and in discharge of an existing liability” … . Bank of NY v Penalver, 2015 NY Slip Op 01406, 2nd Dept 2-18-15
