Equity Suits: Exchequer


Equity suits, or civil litigation mainly concerned disputes over inheritance, lands, debts, marriage settlements, etc. The main court of equity was the Court of Chancery, but from the mid 16th century until 1873 the Exchequer Court also dealt with matters of equity. After 1873, all equity jurisdiction passed to the Chancery Division of the Supreme Court of Judicature.
