Courts of Equity

Courts of Equity are legal institutions that focus on fairness and justice, rather than strictly following the letter of the law. Unlike traditional courts, which resolve disputes based on rigid legal rules, courts of equity consider the specific circumstances and the principles of fairness to deliver more personalized remedies. They can issue orders such as injunctions or specific performance, rather than just monetary compensation. These courts aim to achieve just outcomes, often providing solutions for issues like contracts, property disputes, and family law that require a more nuanced approach than what standard legal rulings can offer.
