Equity and Common Law (1 Viewer)

[ellejay145]

Hi All. I am currently doing the LEC Course and i have a few questions on Topic Three: English Legal and Constitutional History from 1066 to 1875. Any help would be greatly appreciated (i cant find anything in the textbooks!)

• In respect of each of the following, explain what advantages equity had over the principle common law courts:
  • Commencement of Proceedings:
  • Commencement of Process
  • Access to the Court
  • Pleadings
  • Rules applied
  • Trusts
  • Remedies

Thanks Guys!

sorry also that i cant answer your specific questions because i have not dont them...

 

[Quintin]

in fact in early times the CL was pretty random between different jurisdictions so the King would often get those travelling judges to make the common law common in Eng...
