  Equity  
 
  DESCRIPTION  
  This is a body of law that evolved historically to remedy perceived unfairness in other forms of law, namely the common law and statutory law. Therefore, where an aggrieved person is unable to find relief under statute or the common law, equity may be able to provide relief. Examples of equitable remedies are injunctions, specific performance and claims for unjust enrichment.
