Terms Used In Missouri Laws 65.570
- 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
- Property: includes real and personal property. See Missouri Laws 1.020
When a township, seized of real estate, shall be divided into two or more townships, the township trustees and county assessor of the several townships constituted by such division shall meet as soon as may be after the first township election subsequently held in such townships, and when so met shall have power to make such agreement concerning the disposition of such township property, and the division thereof, as shall be equitable, and to take all measures and to execute all conveyances necessary to carry such agreement into effect.
