A quick definition of charge and discharge:

Charge and discharge: This is a legal term used in court when a plaintiff (the person who brings a case to court) and a defendant (the person being sued) have to file their financial accounts with a court-appointed person called a master in chancery. The plaintiff files their account (charge) and the defendant responds with their account (discharge). It's like showing your teacher your homework and then your classmate showing their homework too.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Charge and discharge refer to court-ordered account filings by a plaintiff and a defendant. The plaintiff's account (charge) and the defendant's response (discharge) are filed with a master in chancery.

Example: In a lawsuit, the plaintiff may file a charge, which is a detailed account of the damages they are seeking. The defendant then files a discharge, which is their response to the plaintiff's claims. These filings are reviewed by a master in chancery, who helps to determine the outcome of the case.

Explanation: Charge and discharge are legal terms that refer to the process of filing and responding to court-ordered accountings. This process is often used in equity cases, where a plaintiff is seeking damages or other forms of relief. The charge is the plaintiff's initial filing, which outlines their claims and the damages they are seeking. The discharge is the defendant's response, which may include a rebuttal of the plaintiff's claims or a counterclaim of their own. These filings are important because they help to establish the facts of the case and provide a basis for the court's decision.
