L'oggetto della ricerca è lo studio delle origini, dello sviluppo e del funzionamento della giurisdizione di Equity nel sistema giuridico inglese. Tale giurisdizione, sviluppatasi in concomitanza con l'irrigidimento della common law, mise a punto una serie di precedenti complementari a quelli di common law con l'obiettivo di intervenire in via suppletiva nel caso in cui l'applicazione dei precedenti di diritto comune fosse carente o risultasse iniqua. La trattazione si sofferma dunque sull'analisi dello sviluppo di tale giurisdizione e sul tipo di rapporto che si viene a creare tra i due sistemi di diritto.

Abstract
The object of the research is the study of the origins, development and functioning of Equity jurisdiction in the English legal system. This jurisdiction, which developed alongside the tightening of common law, established a series of precedents complementary to those of common law with the aim of intervening in a supplementary manner whether the application of precedents of common law, was lacking or unsuitable. This discussion, therefore, dwells upon the analysis of the development of this jurisdiction and upon the type of relationship that is created between these two legal systems.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
