Court of ChanceryIn the 15th century, however, equity law and equity case law developed into an independent legal system and judiciary - Court of Chancery - which competed with the ordinary common law courts. Its rules and maxims became fixed and, to a degree, inflexible as in any legal system. Special characteristics of equity law include: relief in the form of specific performance, in contrast to the common law award of compensatory damages, the injunction a temporary or final order to do or not to do a specific act, the development of so called maxims of equity law which permeated the entire legal system and in many cases explain the origin of modern legal concepts.15世纪，衡平法和衡平判例法发民成独立的法律制度和司法制度（大法官法庭）。大法官法庭与普通法庭并列存在。衡平法的规则和原则渐渐确定，与任何法律制度一样具有一定程度上的固定性。衡平法特殊特证包括：特殊履行的救济方式（与普通法获得补偿性损害赔偿金对比来说），形成所谓的衡平法准则，它浸透到整个法律体系和很多最初的现代法律概念的案例解释中。
