Terms Used In Michigan Laws > Chapter 388 > Act 302 of 1921 - Private, Denominational, and Parochial Schools

• Commissioner: means the director. See Michigan Laws 500.102
• Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
• Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
• Designated advisory organization: means the advisory organization designated by the data collection agency pursuant to section 2407(2). See Michigan Laws 500.2402
• 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}
