Court of Chancery (UK)

The Court of Chancery in the UK was a historic court that handled cases involving fairness, equity, and disputes over trusts, land, and fiduciary duties. Unlike courts of law, it focused on principles of justice and moral fairness to provide remedies like injunctions or specific performance. Established over centuries, it operated alongside common law courts until its functions were integrated into the High Court in 1875. Today, its principles continue to influence UK law, but the specific court no longer exists as a separate entity.
