Terms Used In South Carolina Code > Title 6 > Chapter 23 - Joint Municipal Electric Power and Energy Act

  • Area generally served by the same electric supplier: means that area located in any county or counties of this State and assigned to an electric supplier by the Public Service Commission pursuant to the provisions of § 58-27-640 and to the Public Service Authority by Article 3 of Title 58.

  • 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
