A. This chapter applies to the solicitation of grants initiated after August 6, 1999.

Terms Used In Arizona Laws 41-2706

  • 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
  • Grant: means the furnishing of financial or other assistance, including state funds or federal grant funds, by any state governmental unit to any person for the purpose of supporting or stimulating educational, cultural, social or economic quality of life. See Arizona Laws 41-2701
  • Process: means a citation, writ or summons issued in the course of judicial proceedings. See Arizona Laws 1-215
