Terms Used In South Dakota Codified Laws 21-52-5

  • 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
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • Mortgagor: The person who pledges property to a creditor as collateral for a loan and who receives the money.
  • Property: includes property, real and personal. See South Dakota Codified Laws 2-14-2
