Terms Used In Iowa Code 142A.10

  • Commission: means the commission on tobacco use prevention and control established in this chapter. See Iowa Code 142A.2
  • Community partnership: means a public agency or nonprofit organization implementing the tobacco use prevention and control initiative in a local area in accordance with this chapter. See Iowa Code 142A.2
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • 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
