A quick definition of plea in equity:

A plea in equity is a formal response given by someone who is accused of a crime. It can be "guilty," "not guilty," or "no contest." A guilty plea means the person admits to committing the crime, while a not guilty plea means they deny it. A plea in equity can also be used in civil cases, where it is a statement made by the defendant in response to the plaintiff's claim. It can be used to challenge the jurisdiction of the court or the method of asserting the claim, but it does not dispute the claim's merits.

A more thorough explanation:

A plea in equity is a type of legal defense used in civil cases. It is a request made by the defendant to the court to consider fairness and justice in addition to the strict application of the law.

For example, if a plaintiff is seeking to enforce a contract against a defendant, the defendant may argue that the contract is unfair or unconscionable and ask the court to consider this in their decision. This is a plea in equity.

Another example is if a plaintiff is seeking an injunction to stop a defendant from engaging in a certain activity, the defendant may argue that the injunction would cause them undue hardship and ask the court to consider this in their decision. This is also a plea in equity.
