A quick definition of Cairns's Act:

Term: Cairns's Act

Definition: Cairns's Act was a law passed in 1858 in England that allowed people to ask for money as well as help to stop someone from doing something wrong in court. This law was replaced by the Judicature Acts in 1873-1875.

Example: If someone was building a house that was too close to your property, you could use Cairns's Act to ask the court to make them stop building and also pay you money for any damage they caused.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cairns's Act was a statute passed in 1858 in England that expanded the relief available in chancery courts. It allowed for monetary damages to be awarded in addition to injunctive relief.

Example: Before Cairns's Act, if someone wanted to stop another person from doing something, they could only get an injunction. An injunction is a court order that tells someone to stop doing something. But if the person didn't stop, there was no other punishment. Cairns's Act changed that. It allowed the court to also award monetary damages, which means the person who was harmed could get money as compensation.

Explanation: Cairns's Act expanded the power of chancery courts to provide more comprehensive relief to those who were harmed. The example illustrates how the act allowed for monetary damages to be awarded in addition to injunctive relief, providing a more effective means of addressing harm caused by another person's actions.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.
