Terms Used In Washington Code 79.44.020
- assessing district: means :
Washington Code 79.44.003assessment: shall mean any assessment, rate or charge levied, assessed, imposed, or charged by any assessing district as defined in RCW 79. See Washington Code 79.44.004 Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed. Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases.
