Terms Used In Idaho Code > Title 59 > Chapter 8 - Bonds of Officers and Public Employees

  • Administrator: means the administrator of the division of insurance management in the department of administration, as provided by section 67-5760, Idaho Code. See Idaho Code 59-802
  • Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
  • Agency: means each department, institution, board, bureau, commission or committee of the government of the state, including state educational institutions, the supreme court and district courts, but does not include any political subdivisions of the state. See Idaho Code 59-802
  • Blanket surety bond: means a schedule or blanket corporate surety covering all or any group of public officials or employees of the state or of an individual political subdivision. See Idaho Code 59-802
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • 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.
  • Crime insurance: means insurance which indemnifies the assured public entity against losses from employee dishonesty, losses inside and outside the premises, losses from money orders and counterfeit paper currency, losses from depositors’ forgery, and/or generally assures the fidelity and faithful performance of public officials or employees holding positions of public trust. See Idaho Code 59-802
  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • 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
