Terms Used In Texas Government Code 2260.103
- 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
- Rule: includes regulation. See Texas Government Code 311.005
(c) The chief administrative law judge of the office by rule may establish a graduated fee scale, increasing the fee in relation to the amount in controversy.
(d) The office may:
(1) assess the fee against the party who does not prevail in the hearing; or
(2) apportion the fee against the parties in an equitable manner.
