Judicial equity refers to a set of legal principles that aim to achieve fairness and justice in the application of the law. Unlike strict legal rules, which can sometimes lead to unjust outcomes, equity allows judges to consider the specific circumstances of a case. This approach helps ensure that individuals receive fair treatment, especially in situations where traditional laws may not provide adequate remedies. Equity originated in the English legal system as a response to the limitations of common law. It encompasses various doctrines and remedies, such as injunctions and specific performance, which are designed to address issues that cannot be resolved through monetary compensation alone.
