Every unjust decision is a reproach to the law or the judge who administers it. If the law should be in danger of doing injustice, then equity should be called in to remedy it. Equity was introduced to mitigate the rigour of the law.

• 每一个不公正的判决都是对于法律以及负责实施法律的法官的谴责。如果法律处于可能要为不正义的危险之中,那么就应该让衡平法来进行救济。衡平法就是被用来缓解法律的刚性。
