Although equity was convenient, flexible and with skill and ease while dealing a case, although it accomplished its mission excellently and, further, promoted the development of the whole English law, although it could offer the remedies which were variously and with more pertinences, it placed a "sub-rule" position all the time. Even it defeated common law in a face-to-face controversy in 1615, it could not replace common law anyway, and instead, it absorbed the "stare decisis" principle from common law and to bea part of English case law at last.
最后分析了衡平法的特点,作用以及地位,指出衡平法尽管具有简便和灵活的特性,在应对新型案件的场合显得游刃有余,尽管在出色地完成了补普通法之不足的历史使命的基础上还通过自身的发展推进了整个英国法的发展,尽管拥有相对普通法来说更多样且更具针对性的救济方式,更好地满足了人们的救济需求,但是却始终处于“从规则”的地位,就算在1615年与普通法的正面交锋中取得了胜利,却还是无法取普通法而代之,反而逐渐吸收了普通法的遵循先例原则,最终成为了英国判例法的一部分。
