relief in forms other than payment of money
Equitable relief or equitable remedies (means granted in equity to redress a wrong) may be more important to the claimant than the payment of damages in money.
Equitable remedies may consist of specific performance, e.g. fulfilling the terms of a contract which has been breached, or something like noise abatement or the removal of some other nuisance which gave rise to the claim.
English law operates for historic reasons with the concept of Equity (meaning actually 'reasonableness' and administered by the Lord Chancellor and later the Court of Chancery) operating parallel to common law, which did not recognize certain concepts was far more limited in its scope and flexibility.
equity /"EkwIti/
· n. (pl. equities)
1 the quality of being fair and impartial.
2 Law: a branch of law that developed alongside common law in order to remedy some of its defects in fairness and justice.
