@68colliam: Part 77: Equity. Whenever you rush to court for relief, the judge may give you an injunction to restrain someone else or order part performance. Both remedies are examples of Equity. It does not promote monetary compensation, no. Equity aims to restore the injured or offended to the initial position as though nothing happened. Where there is a conflict between civil law and equity, equity supercedes. All countries in the world use it. one maxim is: 'He who comes to equity comes with clean hands' meaning no one should benefit from the mess he has caused. Instead, do unto others what you want them to do to you. For more of such, like and follow me. Be law smart.
