Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 41:632
- 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
Any land sold under La. Rev. Stat. 41:631 shall commence in the corner of a legal division or subdivision of sections and shall be parceled out as follows:
(1) If in a right angle it shall be run at an equal distance on two sides, bounded by the lines of the division to form a square including the number of acres sold.
(2) If in an acute angle, it shall be bounded by the division lines to such distance, and by lines in such other directions as the register may deem most equitable between the land sold and that retained.
The patents for land so sold shall set forth the number and of what parish and shall issue to the school board and its successors, for the use of their district schools.
