A. Matter of grace

B. Matter of right

C. Only (B) and not (A)

D. Only (A) and not (B)

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Equity is a branch of law that developed historically to provide remedies in cases where the strict application of common law principles would lead to unjust or inadequate outcomes. When individuals seek relief in Equity Court, it is generally considered a matter of grace. This means that individuals approach the court seeking fairness and equitable solutions beyond what strict legal rights may provide.

Equity Courts have the authority to grant remedies based on principles of fairness, conscience, and justice. The decisions of Equity Courts are not solely based on legal rights (which would be a matter of right), but rather on equitable considerations that take into account the unique circumstances of each case. As a result, approaching an Equity Court is more aligned with seeking equitable remedies as a matter of grace rather than as an absolute legal entitlement.

Option C: Only (B) and not (A) is not accurate because approaching an Equity Court is not solely a matter of legal right. Equitable remedies often go beyond strict legal rights to address the broader context and ensure just outcomes.

Note: In the context of Equity Law, the term "matter of grace" signifies the discretionary power of the court to grant relief based on considerations of fairness and justice.
