Terms Used In Rhode Island General Laws > Chapter 42-162 - Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program

• Department: means the department of transportation. See Rhode Island General Laws 42-162-2
• Electric vehicle charging infrastructure: means equipment that supplies electricity to charge electric vehicles, including charging stations and balance of plant. See Rhode Island General Laws 42-162-2
• 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}
