- Action: includes all proceedings in any court of this state. See Kentucky Statutes 446.010
- Attachment: A procedure by which a person's property is seized to pay judgments levied by the court.
- 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.

For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
