The commissioner may, if in his opinion it is equitable, grant a special permit for the operation of industrial trucks, tractors, trailers and semitrailers upon the highways of this state for the purpose of transporting goods, property or merchandise to and between buildings of the same industrial plant, provided the maximum distance on the highways over which such vehicle may be operated under such permit shall not exceed fifteen hundred feet, and may make necessary regulations as to their use thereon.

Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 13a-117

  • Commissioner: means the Commissioner of Transportation and includes each successor in office or authority. See Connecticut General Statutes 13a-1
  • 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
