Legal Equity

Legal equity refers to a system of justice that complements traditional laws by providing fairness and remedies when strict application of法律rules would result in unfair outcomes. Originating from courts of equity rather than common law, it focuses on principles like fairness, good faith, and conscience. Instead of merely applying rigid rules, equity allows courts to issue orders like injunctions or specific performance to ensure justice is served, especially in situations where monetary compensation isn't sufficient. Overall, equity aims to achieve just results by addressing individual circumstances with flexibility beyond formal legal statutes.
