Terms Used In Michigan Laws 247.419
- 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: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
At such review the said county road commissioners or the state highway commissioner shall appear and hear all objections to the proposed apportionment of benefits, and equalize the same, and may make such changes and corrections in such rolls as they shall deem just and equitable. Such hearing may be adjourned from time to time as may be necessary in the judgment of the county road commissioners or the state highway commissioner, by giving legal notice of the time and place. After hearing objections, the county road commissioners or the state highway commissioner shall sign and approve such apportionment of benefits roll, and shall file a copy thereof with the county clerk of the county, and with the township clerk of each township within which the improvement is located, or within which any lands assessed a per cent of benefits therefor are situate, or where any township at large is to be assessed a per cent of benefits on such improvement. In any case where a city is liable to an assessment at large on account of such improvement a copy of the roll aforesaid shall be filed with the clerk of said city and shall be by said clerk placed before the legislative body of the city at the next meeting thereof.
