1. Equity:

(a) Nature of Equity
(b) History of Courts of Equity
(c) Relations of law of Equity
(d) The maxims of equity
(e) Different Equitable remedies

(a) Nature of Equity

Equity is a branch of law developed to provide justice where the common law was rigid, technical, or inadequate. It is based on principles of fairness, conscience, and natural justice. Equity supplements common law by granting remedies such as injunction, specific performance, rescission, and rectification. It does not replace law but corrects its shortcomings to ensure fair outcomes.

(b) History of Courts of Equity

The origin of Courts of Equity can be traced to England. In medieval England, common law courts often failed to deliver justice due to strict procedural rules. Aggrieved persons petitioned the King, who delegated such matters to the Lord Chancellor. Over time, the Chancellor started deciding cases based on fairness and conscience, leading to the establishment of the Court of Chancery. Later, through the Judicature Acts 1873–75, common law and equity were administered together.

(c) Relation of Law and Equity

Law and Equity are complementary systems. Common law provides legal rights and remedies, while equity provides relief where strict application of law causes injustice. In case of conflict between law and equity, equity prevails. Equity follows the law, meaning it respects legal rules but intervenes to prevent unfairness.

(d) Maxims of Equity

Maxims of equity are guiding principles used by courts while granting equitable relief. Important maxims include:

He who seeks equity must do equity
He who comes into equity must come with clean hands
Delay defeats equity
Equity looks to intent rather than form
Equity acts in personam
Equity will not suffer a wrong without a remedy

(e) Different Equitable Remedies

Equitable remedies are special remedies granted by courts when monetary compensation is insufficient. Major equitable remedies include:

Injunction – Court order to stop or compel an act
Specific Performance – Order to perform contractual obligations
Rescission – Cancellation of contract
Rectification – Correction of written documents
Account of Profits – Recovery of wrongful gains
Declaration – Court declaration of legal rights
