Terms Used In Missouri Laws 67.1642

  • 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
  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.
  • Property: includes real and personal property. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.

A home equity program may be terminated only by approval of the local governing bodies of the municipality or county. In terminating the program, the governing commission shall refund the remaining balance of the guarantee fund, if any, after all potential liabilities have been satisfied, to the then current property taxpayers of all real property within the area of the commission in an equitable manner proportionate to the manner in which the guarantee fund was raised.
