Terms Used In 5 Guam Code Ann. § 5151

  • 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. Source: U.S. Courts

(b) Pursuant to the MOU, DPW, GBCC, and PEALS may jointly enter into an MOU with the Office of the Attorney General to provide such legal services. DPW, GBCC, and PEALS shall reimburse the Office of the Attorney General for such services in equitable proportions from their respective funds.
