Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 70 ILCS 705/10b
- 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
- Personal property: All property that is not real property.
Any two or more fire districts or one or more fire protection districts and one or more cities, villages or incorporated towns may provide for joint ownership of fire fighting equipment, communication equipment, rescue and resuscitator equipment and real and personal property necessary for the care and housing of such equipment. In case of joint ownership the terms of the agreement shall be fair, just and equitable to all parties and shall be set forth in a written agreement entered into by the corporate authorities of each participating unit.
