noun

Gerichtshöfe, Rechtsgericht

A court which was empowered to decide questions of law and award monetary damages, but could not provide equitable relief, which was reserved for a court of equity.

Examples :

"The lawcourts heard the case about the unpaid rent, but they could only award financial compensation; they couldn't order the landlord to return the security deposit, as that was a matter for the court of equity. "

Die Gerichtshöfe verhandelten den Fall über die unbezahlte Miete, konnten aber nur finanzielle Entschädigung zusprechen; sie konnten den Vermieter nicht anweisen, die Kaution zurückzuzahlen, da dies eine Angelegenheit für das Equity-Gericht war.
