Terms Used In 21 Guam Code Ann. § 76113

  • 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
  • Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
Where any violation of this Chapter occurs, or is likely to occur, which will result in unauthorized or improper demolition, alteration, or transfer or historic property, the Attorney General, any agency of Guam, any person, partnership, corporation, association, organization, or other legal entity may maintain an action in the Superior Court for declaratory and equitable relief against Guam, any person, partnership, corporation, association, organization, or other legal entity for the protection of a historic property and the public trust therein. Any party who prevails in an action brought under the provisions of this section shall be awarded his costs, including reasonable attorney fees.
