Equity Law
Equity Law is a branch of law that focuses on fairness and justice, often providing remedies that are not available under traditional common law. It originated in the English legal system to address situations where strict application of the law would result in unfair outcomes.
Equity Law allows courts to use discretion and consider the specific circumstances of a case. Remedies in equity may include injunctions, specific performance, or rescission, rather than monetary damages. This approach aims to achieve a more just result, ensuring that legal outcomes align with principles of fairness.
