See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction.

For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts

§ 6034b. Separate accounts of protected cells
With the Commissioner‘s prior written approval, a protected cell of a sponsored captive insurance company may establish one or more separate accounts and may allocate to them amounts to provide for the insurance of risks of one or more participants, or controlled unaffiliated business of such participant or participants, subject to the following:
(1) The income, gains, and losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to a separate account shall be credited to or charged against the account, without regard to other income, gains, or losses of the protected cell.
(2) Amounts allocated to a separate account in the exercise of the power granted by this subsection are owned by the protected cell, and the protected cell may not be nor hold itself out to be a trustee with respect to such amounts.
(3) Unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner, assets allocated to a protected cell shall be valued in accordance with the rules otherwise applicable to the protected cell’s assets.
(4) If and to the extent so provided under the applicable contracts that portion of the assets of any such protected cell equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to such account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the protected cell may conduct.
(5) No sale, exchange, or other transfer of assets may be made by such protected cell between any of its separate accounts or between any other investment account and one or more of its separate accounts unless, in the case of a transfer into a separate account, such transfer is made solely to establish the account or to support the operation of the contracts with respect to the separate account to which the transfer is made and unless such transfer, whether into or from a separate account, is made by a transfer of cash or by a transfer of securities having a readily determinable market value, provided that such transfer of securities is approved by the Commissioner. The Commissioner may approve other transfers among such accounts if, in his or her opinion, such transfers would be equitable.
(6) To the extent such protected cell deems it necessary to comply with any applicable federal or State laws, such protected cell, with respect to any separate account, including any separate account that is a management investment company or a unit investment trust, may provide for persons having an interest therein appropriate voting and other rights and special procedures for the conduct of the business of such account, including special rights and procedures relating to investment policy, investment advisory services, selection of independent public accountants, and the selection of a committee, the members of which need not be otherwise affiliated with such protected cell, to manage the business of such account.
