An equitable right is a legal right guaranteed by equity as opposed to a legal right which derives authority from a legal source.

An example of an equitable right could be seen in Land law, where mention is made of a beneficial interest i.e. vested interests in an estate which are protected by equity.

What is the difference between a legal and an equitable remedy?

Equitable remedies are related to fairness, as opposed to the actual monetary damages suffered as the result of a breach.

One common type of equitable remedy used when the goods are unique is called "specific performance" -- a court order requiring the nonperforming party to carry out the exact terms of the contract.
