What is court equitable power?

Court equitable power refers to the authority of a court to grant remedies that are fair and just, rather than strictly legal, in nature. This power allows judges to use discretion to achieve equitable outcomes, such as injunctions, specific performance, or reformation of contracts, especially in cases where monetary damages would be inadequate. Equitable power is rooted in principles of fairness and justice, often guided by the maxim "he who seeks equity must do equity." It complements the legal system by addressing situations that require more nuanced solutions.
