equitable remedy

**equitable remedy**

An equitable remedy is a court-issued order that requires a party to act or refrain from acting in a certain way, designed to provide fairness when monetary damages are insufficient. Unlike legal remedies, which typically involve financial compensation, equitable remedies focus on fairness and justice, often including injunctions, specific performance, rescission, or reformation. These remedies are commonly applied in cases involving contracts, trusts, property disputes, and fiduciary duties to ensure that the outcome is just and equitable for all parties involved.
