Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes > Title 17 > Chapter 50 > Part IV - Students Affected by Certain Disasters and Emergencies

• Carrier: means operating companies, railroads, trucking companies, barge lines, stevedoring companies, shipping lines, and all companies transporting, storing, or shipping goods and other products, whether by rail, truck, barge, oceangoing vessel, or otherwise.

• Commissioner: means the Commissioner of Conservation of the State of Louisiana. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:3
• 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.
• Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
• Dependent: A person dependent for support upon another.
• 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}
