Description
The history of equity takes in questions of philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and legal history.
When we speak of ‘equity’, do we mean Aristotelian epieikeia, civilian aequitas, a theological or juridical conscience, the common law concept of the ‘equity of the statute’, or merely the rules applied by the Court of Chancery before 1875?
The purpose of this volume is to chart the evolution of equity in English legal history from the medieval period to the present day. Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this collection exposes the strands of thought which equity comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved.
