Equitable Remedies
A Court of equity is a court that solves cases that involve remedies rather than monetary damages such as writs, injunctions, and particular performance, while a court of law deals with cases that involve monetary damages. The court of chancery and the federal bankruptcy court are examples of a court which function as courts of equity (Markell, 2020). The difference between the two types of the court has faded due to the adoption of federal civil procedure rules, which enabled courts to integrate jurisdiction concerning law and equity issues. In a medical malpractice situation, each case is different regarding remedies for the medical malpractice or negligence involved in the case. One of the remedies for medical malpractice negligence is when the plaintiff is granted compensatory damage, which is to cover up for the losses suffered by the plaintiff. Losses may include the medical bill, prescribed drugs, and lost wages. Different states have different medical malpractice laws, and qualified attorneys assist with further guidance (Goel, 2020). Additionally, the plaintiff can not only claim for the expenses incurred, but they can also claim for the estimated medical expenses that may occur in the future as a result of the medical malpractice negligence. This may include expenses such as laboratory tests, medical devices, physical therapy, and drugs, just to mention a few.
From the case, the ruling of allowing Harper to have a ruling against the school harassment policy based on substantial overbreadth is very fair since the school dress code suggests that the school clothing should be neat, clean, and appropriate for school activities. Allowing Harper to have a ruling against the school harassment is an appropriate choice since Harper had the right to express his thought about the school decisions to allow homosexuality in the school. Additionally, the school should have to balance freedom of speech and the need to sustain a secure environment for learning.
