Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 21.39.150

  • 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

Agreements may be made among insurers with respect to the equitable apportionment among them of insurance that may be afforded applicants who are in good faith entitled to the insurance but who are unable to procure the insurance through ordinary methods. The insurers may agree among themselves on the use of reasonable rate modifications for the insurance. The agreements and rate modifications are subject to the approval of the director.
