Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 12:3-39
- 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
- Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
If the board finds that it is equitable and just that such a confirmatory lease or grant be executed in consideration of the moneys theretofore paid to the state on account of the lease or grant, or upon payment of such further consideration as may be equitable and just, a proper confirmatory lease or grant shall be executed and delivered to the petitioner, his heirs, successors or assigns. Any confirmatory lease or grant made in compliance with sections 12:3-38 to 12:3-44 of this title shall be conclusive and final as to its equity or justness and thenceforth shall be binding upon the state.
