Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes > Chapter 146 - Support of Family; Small Estates

  • Allegation: something that someone says happened.
  • Commission: means the Nevada Gaming Commission. See Nevada Revised Statutes 463A.020
  • Date of valuation: means the date on which the value of the property actually taken, and the damages, if any, to the remaining property, must be determined. See Nevada Revised Statutes 37.009
  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • Department: means the Department of Education. See Nevada Revised Statutes 385.007
  • 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
