Terms Used In CFR > Title 23 > Chapter I > Subchapter E - Planning and Research

  • Baseline: Projection of the receipts, outlays, and other budget amounts that would ensue in the future without any change in existing policy. Baseline projections are used to gauge the extent to which proposed legislation, if enacted into law, would alter current spending and revenue levels.
  • Case law: The law as laid down in cases that have been decided in the decisions of the courts.
  • Circumstantial evidence: All evidence except eyewitness testimony.
  • covered produce: refers to the harvestable or harvested part of the crop. See 21 CFR 112.3
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
