equity in law

Equity in law is a system that provides fair solutions when standard laws may lead to unjust outcomes. It originated to address cases where applying strict legal rules would cause unfairness, focusing on principles like fairness, good faith, and justice. Unlike regular law (common law), which relies on set rules and precedents, equity allows courts to use discretion to achieve just results. It often involves remedies like injunctions or specific performance rather than monetary damages, ensuring that justice is tailored to the unique circumstances of each case.
