equitable relief

Equitable relief refers to a type of court-ordered remedy aimed at addressing situations where a legal remedy, like financial compensation, is insufficient or inappropriate. Instead of providing money, the court may order a specific action, such as enforcing a contract, stopping someone from doing something harmful, or returning property. This form of relief seeks fairness and justice, prioritizing the needs and rights of the parties involved over strict legal rules. It emphasizes achieving a fair outcome rather than merely compensating for losses.
