N.Y. Public Authorities Law 2631 – Definitions
§ 2631. Definitions. As used in this title, unless the context otherwise requires:
Terms Used In N.Y. Public Authorities Law 2631
- Bonds: shall mean the bonds authorized by this title. See N.Y. Public Authorities Law 2631
- Commission: shall mean the Hudson-Mohawk urban cultural park commission created pursuant to section two thousand six hundred thirty-two of this title. See N.Y. Public Authorities Law 2631
- 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
