dismissal for want of equity

A court’s dismissal of a lawsuit on substantive, rather than procedural, grounds, usu. because the plaintiff’s allegations are found to be untrue or because the plaintiff’s pleading does not state an adequate claim. [Cases: Pretrial Procedure 552, 622. C.J.S. Dismissal and Nonsuit § 50.]
