How do remedies at law differ from remedies in equity)?

Remedies at law are typically monetary compensations awarded by a court whereas remedies in equity are non-monetary remedies such as injunctions, specific performance, or rescission. Remedies at law focus on providing monetary relief for damages caused, while remedies in equity seek to enforce fairness and remedies beyond mere money damages. In some legal systems, there is a distinction between the two types of remedies, with historical roots in English common law.
