Hi, there appear to be no video lectures for the chapters 1 and 2, and the notes are very limited without much explanation.
Could the tutor explain the following parts to the notes?
What does “commonised” mean?
What is “obiter dicta”?
Who is “Aequitas” and what did he do?
What is the “chancellors court”?
What was the “Earl of Oxford’s case?”
What are the “Judicature acts?”
What do the remedies mean – specific performance, injunction, rescission, rectification?Thanks
Made common
Things said “by the way” (literally, “other things said”)
Aequitas is Old English for “equality” or “equity”
Chancellor’s Court was a system of Courts separate from the Common Law Courts, staffed by the Chancellor (at its head) and the Chancellor’s appointees
Earl of Oxford in 1610 (?) was brought to court and there was a dispute as to who should hear the case – Common Law or Equity (Equity won)
The Judicature Acts are a series of laws passed between 1873 and 1875 and had a major affect on rationalising the entire English legal system
The remedies are all explained in later lectures
You’re welcome
