Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 514C-21
- 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
- Fee simple: Absolute title to property with no limitations or restrictions regarding the person who may inherit it.
As used in this part, unless the context requires otherwise:
“Lessor” means any or all of the fee simple owners and other persons having legal or equitable ownership interests in the leased fee interest appurtenant to the various condominium units in the condominium project and in the various apartment and ground leases including, but not limited to, any sublessor. The definition of “lessor” in § 514C-1 shall not apply to this part.
