Synopsis

This book provides an accessible introduction to Equity Pleading, a technical form of drafting used in legal documents submitted to the Court of Chancery. The author traces the development of this practice within the broader context of the evolution of law and equity in England. Through a detailed analysis of each type of pleading and its structure, the author demonstrates how legal professionals used legal fictions, legal presumptions, and equitable remedies to adapt common law to the needs of an increasingly complex society. By offering practical examples of pleadings, the book illustrates the legal reasoning that guided the development of Equity Pleading, and highlights its continuing importance in the modern legal system.
