Terms Used In Michigan Laws 125.732
- 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 city or incorporated village or township shall make payments in lieu of taxes with respect to housing projects acquired hereunder in such amounts as may be deemed equitable and appropriate but not to exceed the taxes which would be levied on the property if it were not tax exempt: Provided, That no payments in lieu of taxes at a lesser rate than would be levied on the property if it were not tax exempt shall be valid without first submitting a proposal for such lesser rate to the electors of the city, incorporated village or township at a regular election in the municipality and obtaining the approval of a majority of said electors voting thereon.
