Description
Equity exercises jurisdiction in cases of accident, mistake, or fraud, where the party has not a plain, adequate, and complete remedy at law. Where the remedy at law is plain, equity will not interfere if the remedy is also adequate and complete; but, if the remedy at law is doubtful, the court of equity will retain the case, and, if the proofs are satisfactory, will grant relief. Jurisdiction to a partial extent may exist at law; but, if the remedy there is not adequate,–that is, if the party cannot attain at law the full justice of the case,–he may, if he sees fit, pursue his remedy in equity. Nor is the court of equity closed to the party unless the remedy at law is complete, and will secure to the party the whole right involved, in a manner as just and perfect as would be attained in a suit in equity. 1 Story's Eq., sect. 33; Insurance Co. v. Bailey, 13 Wall. 621.
