Equitable claims and defences at Common Law
Equitable claims and defences at Common Law; The (English) Common Law Procedure Act, 1854 (ss 83-86), enabled any defendant to plead the facts which would entitle him, if judgment were obtained against him, to relief in Equity from such judgment on equitable grounds, by way of defence, and also enabled the plaintiff to avoid such defence by a replication upon equitable grounds. A plea on equitable grounds was good at Law only where an absolute and unconditional injunction wold be granted in Equity.The (English) Judicature Act, 1925, s. 36, and follow-ing sections, reproducing s. 24 of the (English) Judicature Act, 1873, has combined the jurisdiction of the Courts of Common Law and Equity so that legal and equitable remedies may be granted in the same Court but without affecting the nature of the rights. The object is to avoid multiplicity of actions and it does not confer a new jurisdiction (The James Westall, 1905, P., p. 51), and if there is any conflict or variance between the rules...

Magna Carta, [Latin 'great charter'] The English charter that King John granted to the barons in 1215 and Henry III and Edward I later confirmed.
