Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 3:3506

  • Commissioner: means the commissioner of agriculture of the state of Louisiana. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 3:3502
  • Commodity: except as otherwise provided in La. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 3:3502
  • 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

The terms, volume or quantity, except as in La. Rev. Stat. 3:3523, may be in terms of gross dollar value if the commissioner finds that such volume or quantity cannot be readily ascertained otherwise, or that gross dollar value is a more equitable measure of the commodity involved.
