noun

法廷

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. "

法廷は未払いの家賃に関する事件を審理しましたが、金銭的な補償しかできませんでした。彼らは家主に対し、保証金を返還するよう命じることはできませんでした。それはエクイティ裁判所の問題だったからです。
