Talk:Ex aequo et bono

Case concerning delimitation of the maritime boundary in the Gulf of Maine Area
Somewhat misleading to present this case as exemplar for "ex aequo et bono", since though it was decided on the basis of "equitable criteria", § 59 reads: "The Chamber is however bound by its Statute, and required by the Parties, not to take a decision ex aequo et bono, but to achieve a result on the basis of law." — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlmaTsuy (talk • contribs) 21:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission
I initially deleted all but the first line of the paragraph dealing with the commission, but I undid that to raise the question here first.

Is the text at issue indicating that principals of law are not considered or that principles of equity praeter legem or ;contra legem, outside or against the law, respectively, or not considered. I suspect that the paragraph is incorrect at least in part for confusing, or at least blurring the line between, general principles of law and non-legal concepts of equity.IMHO (talk) 18:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Has this ever been used?
Outside of both parties agreeing, has this ever been used in modern history (19c+)? I mean, if both parties agree, they can do whatever they want... so that's no bar... ~ender 2009-07-19 08:22:AM MST —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.167.219.101 (talk)
