justice
'Gerechtigkeit' and 'Equity' can both have to do with fair action. In German, 'Gerechtigkeit' is the normal word for the ideal that decisions are fair and morally right. 'Equity', on the other hand, is a specialized term from English law. It refers to a kind of fairness in which decisions are made fairly in individual cases, even when written law alone is not enough. In everyday language, people almost always say 'Gerechtigkeit'. 'Equity' is more appropriate in legal or specialized texts about the English legal system.
