Joerg, 2003 VT 27, ¶ 6. “The legal principle of subrogation is a fluid concept depending upon the particular facts and circumstances and based on natural justice of placing the burden of bearing a loss where it ought to be, without the form of a rigid rule of law.” 16 L. Russ & T. Segalla, Couch on Insurance § 222:24, at 222-55 (3d ed. 2000) (cited with approval in Nationwide Mut. Fire Ins. Co. v. Gamelin, 173 Vt. 45, 52, 786 A.2d 1078, 1084 (2001)). As such, in contrast to the limited role of public policy in the interpretation of a run-of-the-mill contract, the policy considerations underpinning our decision in Joerg are critically important to any interpretation of a lease in a subrogation action. A decision *224on a question of equity that runs counter to the demands of public policy is a contradiction in terms.
