Abstract

The law of equity is a set of legal principles that seek to provide fair and just outcomes in situations where strict application of the law may lead to injustice. The general principles of equity are rooted in notions of fairness, justice, inclusion, accessibility, responsiveness, and empowerment. These principles guide decision-making and policy development in various fields, including law, economics, and social justice. The principles of equity emphasize the importance of treating individuals fairly, providing equal opportunities, and addressing the unique needs and experiences of different groups. Equity is based on the idea that every individual and community should have access to the resources they need to thrive, and that policies and practices should be designed to reduce unfair advantages and disadvantages. Overall, the law of equity seeks to promote a just and equitable society, where everyone has a fair chance to succeed and reach their full potential.
