Statute.
In cases where common law and equity conflict, equity prevails. This principle was established to ensure fairness and justice in legal disputes. It originated from the historical separation between courts of law and courts of equity in England, where equity developed to provide remedies when the strict application of common law would lead to injustice.
In general, the law prevails over equity unless the circumstances are such that a manifest injustice would result. The maxim at common law is: "Equity follows the law." This means two things. One is that whenever there is an adequate remedy at law, legal relief rather than equitable relief should be provided. The second is that if the law on a subject is explicit, equity does not supersede it. Equity law developed out of a sense of fairness when the law courts could not grant relief that adequately compensated a party for a loss or harm. Since resort was made to equity only when there was no adequate provision in law, the rule became that courts look to the law first, then to equity.
new laws are given preference when the might contradict.
Are you missing the definition of, "prevails"? That's really the only thing I can think of that could be unclear about this aphorism. (you could look up aphorism, too). The statement is one of those simple sayings that we hope is true because we like truth, honesty, uprightness, reliability. This is very close to the saying: good prevails over evil. In the saying you offer, however, there is a word that is missing, though we know exactly what it means. Truth is powerful and it prevails (wins over) ... WHAT. The WHAT can be any number of things: truth wins over lies. truth wins over evil. etc. If we want to get deep here, we ask, "What is truth?" absolute? relative? non existent? human construct? Is TRUTH the same as FACT? But I don't think that's what you're asking. So, do you think truth is powerful?
