noun

Tribunal de droit

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. "

Même si le tribunal de droit a accordé de l'argent à John pour sa voiture endommagée, il a dû aller devant un autre tribunal pour que l'entreprise cesse de polluer son quartier, car le tribunal de droit ne pouvait pas leur ordonner de s'arrêter, mais seulement de payer les dommages.
