Terms Used In Montana Code > Title 30 > Chapter 16 > Part 3 - Business Registration and Licensing -- Board of Review

• Board of review: means the body established to provide policy direction to the department of revenue in designing and recommending to the legislature the implementation of a plan for a business registration and licensing system. See Montana Code 30-16-103
• Department: means the department of revenue established in 2-15-1301. See Montana Code 30-16-103
• 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}
