About this document
Understanding Equity in English Law by Longku dieudonne is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Equity in English law addresses the limitations of rigid legal rules, allowing for modifications to achieve fair outcomes, historically administered by the Court of Chancery. The concept led to the creation of trusts and the modification of legal rights in various areas, including contracts and mortgages. The Judicature Act of 1873 merged the courts of law and equity, establishing that in cases of conflict, equity would prevail, though concerns about the expertise of judges in equitable matters persisted.
