Terms Used In 4 Guam Code Ann. § 15403
- Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
- 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
- Remand: When an appellate court sends a case back to a lower court for further proceedings.
(a) When the Commission, after due hearings, believes that there is cause for the possible filing of criminal charges, it shall refer the complaint to the Attorney General’s Office or appropriate authority for its disposition.
(b) With respect to former employees, the Commission may, with the consent of five (5) or more members of the Commission, issue a public statement of its findings and conclusions, and the Attorney General may exercise whatever legal or equitable remedies are available to Guam.
(c) When after due hearing, the Commission finds that the violation committed by an employee is non-criminal in nature, the Commission will remand the case to the agency where the employee is employed with the recommendation that the agency impose the corresponding punishment in accordance with the agency’s personnel rules and regulations.
