Disgorgement is a remedy used in U.S. securities law; for example, disgorgement of short-swing profits is the remedy prescribed by ยง 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. American Jurisprudence, Second Edition states that:
Disgorgement is also a remedy for violations of the U.S.'s Commodity Exchange Act. The purpose of such a remedy, as in securities cases, is " to deprive the wrongdoer of his or her ill-gotten gains and to deter violations of the law." However, in such cases, the court may only order disgorgement up to "the amount with interest by which a defendant profited from his or her wrongdoing."
