Week 2 | Equity means Natural Justice, Fairness and morality.
English law before the introduction of the principle of equity was mainly governed by Common Law. Blackstone defined Common Law as the municipal law of England or the rule of civil conduct prescribed to the inhabitants of the kingdom. But this system of common law had certain flaws as it did not provide for any remedy in many cases where one was required. This thus paved the requirement for the emergence of the principles of equity and the decisions were given in good conscience with clear fairness and morality.
