Court of equity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A chancery court or court of equity is a court that is authorized to apply principles of equity (as opposed to law) to cases brought before it. These courts began with petitions to the Lord Chancellor of England. Some common law jurisdictions preserve the distinctions between law and equity and between courts of law and courts of equity.
