Terms Used In Vermont Statutes > Title 10 > Chapter 46 > Subchapter 2 - New Hampshire-Vermont Solid Waste Compact

• Carrier: means a person that issues a bill of lading. See
• Consignor: means a person named in a bill of lading as the person from which the goods have been received for shipment. See
• Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
• 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}
