Terms Used In California Codes > Financial Code > Division 1.6 > Chapter 3 > Article 4.5 - Sale of Partial Trust Business Unit by California State Bank or Savings Association to Uninsured Foreign (Other State) State Depository Corporation

• Business unit: means a branch business unit, a partial business unit, or a whole business unit. See California Financial Code 4840
• 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}
