Terms Used In 4 Guam Code Ann. § 15211

  • 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
  • Gift: A voluntary transfer or conveyance of property without consideration, or for less than full and adequate consideration based on fair market value.
(a) Any Guam action obtained in violation of this chapter for employees is voidable in the same manner as voidable contracts as provided for under § 15207; and Guam, by the Attorney General, may pursue all legal and equitable remedies available to it.

(b) Guam, by the Attorney General, may recover any fee, compensation, gift, or profit received by such person as a result of a violation of these standards by an employee or former employee. Action to recover under the Subsection (b) shall be brought within two (2) years of such violation under this Chapter.
