Terms Used In Alabama Code 10A-20-8.08
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- 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
- Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
- property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
If on final hearing the court shall find that the organization of the plaintiff corporation, subject to such further or amended conditions or provisions as the court may require or approve, is equitable and appropriate for administration as a fraternal or charitable trust and that the withdrawal of the fraternal property from subjection to the action complained of is equitable and appropriate under the cy-pres doctrine or otherwise, the court shall enter judgment accordingly, declaring the status, rights, and equities involved and, on final compliance, shall order its approval for the record, as well as grant any other relief appropriate in the premises.
