Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 06.15.120

  • 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
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

Upon application by a mutual bank, an exception may be granted to any prohibition contained in Alaska Stat. § 06.15.100 following a determination by the department that the exception sought is equitable, is supported by evidence, and is in the best interests of the depositors of the mutual bank.
