Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 10 Sec. 1500-G
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- 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
- United States: includes territories and the District of Columbia. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 1 Sec. 72
2. Unfair trade practice. A violation of this section constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice in violation of Title 5, chapter 10. An action brought under this chapter by the Office of the Attorney General may not preclude a person from bringing a civil action to obtain injunctive or equitable relief or damages under 25 United States Code § 305e.
