Terms Used In Virginia Code > Title 59.1 > Chapter 4.2 - Conspiracy to Rig Bids to Government

• Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
• Bid: means any submission of a price, whether written or oral, for any goods, services or construction to be provided. See Virginia Code 59.1-68.6
• Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
• Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
• 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}
