Terms Used In Virginia Code > Title 52 > Chapter 13 - Gaming Enforcement

• Coordinator: means the position of the Gaming Enforcement Coordinator established pursuant to § 52-54. See Virginia Code 52-53
• Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
• Department: means the Department of State Police. See Virginia Code 52-53
• Docket: A log containing brief entries of court proceedings.
• 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}
