What is the relation between common law and equity in relation to judicial precedents?

Question

In relation to law

Answer 1

Common law refers broadly to all legal (judicial) precedents, at least in the US.

Remedies are divided into two primary categories. Remedies at law, and remedies in equity. Remedies at law affect property, and remedies in equity are orders (injunctions, etc.) against people. Both types of remedies are available in most US courts, and both are equally covered by existing judicial precedent.

This wasn't always the case in the US, and is still not the case in many other counties. Many countries have different court systems that grant remedies at law, versus equitable remedies. And like any other system of parallel courts hierarchies, a ruling (precedent) in one court is not necessarily binding on another court in a different hierarchy.

Answer 2

That may be true...but the fact is: that question makes no sense.
