Equity was developed in 14th century to resolve disputes where damages were not a suitable remedy, and in an effort to introduce fairness into the legal system. The distinction between "law" and "equity" is an accident of history. The law courts or "courts of law" were the courts in England that enforced the king's laws in medieval times.

Problems of common law courtswas: at first, juries were bribed; at second, common law courts were expensive and lengthy; at third, people petitioned the king to "redress their grievances"
