21 Guam Code Ann. § 681402
Terms Used In 21 Guam Code Ann. § 681402
- 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

21 Guam Code Ann. REAL PROPERTY
CH. 68 USE & DEVELOPMENT OF GOVERNMENT REAL PROPERTY
I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that these families whose properties have been adversely affected by the protective zone, and who should have been granted an exchange with government of Guam land, have been left in an uncertain situation for over thirty (30) years. Furthermore, the government left the landowners in a position where they were unable to improve their properties or to even construct safe and decent homes. I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that, through no fault of their own, these families faced condemnation of their land by default.
More importantly, I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that the Department of Corrections is desirous of returning unused properties back to the original landowners.
Therefore, it is the intent of I Liheslaturan Guåhan to come to a fair and equitable resolution of this thirty (30) year old continuing problem by returning the properties mentioned herein to the families at no cost.
