Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 43:17-35
- 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
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
43:17-35. Any funds heretofore or hereafter received and held by a relief association organized and existing under this article, from any source, may be used for the relief, support and maintenance of qualified firefighters and their dependents, not only during the lives of the firefighters but after their death, in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations in regard thereto as the executive committee of the New Jersey State Firemen’s Association from time to time establishes. The executive committee may make and establish, alter, amend and supplement these rules and regulations, may put into effect and alter, from time to time, the methods of administration as may best accomplish such results and may provide for the restoration of the funds of any local relief association diminished by payments made by an assessment levied by the executive committee in such equitable manner as it prescribes.
