What is equitable relief?

Equitable relief is a legal remedy sought in a court of law when there is a dispute or disagreement between two parties. Generally, equitable relief is available when the parties cannot resolve their dispute by more traditional means, such as through a monetary judgment or an agreement. In Mississippi, equitable relief is used when one party has suffered a loss or damages due to an action by another party and there is no adequate legal remedy for the injured party. Common types of equitable relief sought in Mississippi include specific performance of a contract, interference with contractual relationships, injunctions, and declaratory relief. Specific performance is when a court requires a party to perform its end of the bargain as outlined in the contract. An injunction is a court order prohibiting one party from taking an action or continuing to participate in activities that conflict with the agreement. A declaratory relief is a court order that declares the parties rights and obligations in the agreement.
