Investment Mistake/Additional Assets After Part Made Whole

[Zorro1k]

If a broker incorrectly placed trades and after correcting the mistakes and making the plan whole there are additional profits that resulted from the original mistake who is entitled to the profits? What support is there for that position?

I don't think the Plan is allowed to be put in a better position than if the mistake was not made.

In this particular case it sounds like the size of the correction was calculated in error causing an "over correction", presumably by the brokerage house, the excess of which should be returned to the brokerage house.

But honestly I'm not 100% sure on that, it's just an educated guess.

That was my initial thought but I can't locate support for my position.
