Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 38:359

  • 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
  • person: includes a body of persons, whether incorporated or not. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 1:10

A.  Upon the application of any party in interest and upon due notice to all parties, the court may order that the money deposited or any part thereof be paid forthwith to the person entitled thereto for or on account of the just and adequate compensation to be awarded in the proceedings.  

B.  The court may make such orders as shall be just and equitable to direct the payments of taxes, encumbrances, and other charges out of the money deposited.
