Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes > Title 24 > Chapter 1 > Part V - Temporary Legislative Succession for Legislators On Active Duty

• bid: means any offer or proposal by an exhibitor to a distributor for the right to exhibit a motion picture or which states terms under which the exhibitor will agree to exhibit a motion picture. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:2902
• blind bidding: means the bidding for, negotiating for, or offering or agreeing to terms for the licensing or exhibition of a motion picture at any time before such motion picture has either been trade screened within the state or before such motion picture, at the option of the distributor, otherwise has been made available for viewing within the state by all exhibitors from whom the distributor is soliciting bids or with whom the distributor is negotiating for the right to exhibit such motion picture. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:2902
• Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
• distributor: means any person engaged in the business of distributing or supplying motion pictures to exhibitors by rental, sale or licensing. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 37:2902
• 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}
