noun

Tribunal de derecho

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 :

"Even though the lawcourt awarded John money for his damaged car, he had to go to a different court to get the company to stop polluting his neighborhood, because the lawcourt couldn't order them to stop, only pay for damages. "

Aunque el tribunal de derecho le otorgó dinero a John por su coche dañado, tuvo que ir a un tribunal diferente para que la empresa dejara de contaminar su vecindario, porque el tribunal de derecho no podía ordenarles que pararan, solo pagar los daños.
