Bonds and notes issued pursuant to this chapter shall be special obligations of the municipality and shall not be payable from nor charged upon any funds other than the revenues pledged to the payment thereof, nor shall the municipality issuing the same be subject to any liability thereon except to the extent of such pledged revenues. No holder of any bonds or notes shall have the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the municipality to pay any bonds or notes or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment thereon against any property of the municipality except the property mortgaged or otherwise encumbered under the provisions and for the purposes of this chapter. The bonds and notes shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the municipality, except the property mortgaged or otherwise encumbered under the provisions and for the purposes of this chapter. The substance of such limitation shall be plainly stated on the face of each bond and note, with appropriate modification in the case of bonds and notes secured by the covenant and pledge of a municipality to restore the capital reserve funds to the maximum capital reserve fund requirement. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of § 8-307, bonds and notes issued pursuant to this chapter shall not be subject to any statutory limitation on the indebtedness of the municipality and such bonds and notes when issued shall not be included in computing the aggregate indebtedness of the municipality in respect to and to the extent of any such limitation.

Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 8-308

  • 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
  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
