Terms Used In Indiana Code 32-33-10-8

  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • construction machinery and equipment: includes all classes and types of machinery and equipment used in road construction, road maintenance, earth moving, and building construction work. See Indiana Code 32-33-10-1
  • 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
