order of the See also:court of a mortgagor's See also:equity of redemption. In the law of equity the See also:object of every mortgage transaction is eventually the repayment of a See also:debt, the mortgaged See also:property being incidental by way of See also:security. Therefore, although the See also:day named for repayment of the See also:loan has passed and the mortgagor's See also:estate is consequently forfeited, equity steps in to mitigate the harshness. of the See also:common law, and will See also:decree a reconveyance of the mortgaged property on See also:payment of the See also:principal, See also:interest and See also:costs. This-right of the mortgagor to See also:relief is termed his " equity of redemption." But the right must be exercised within a reasonable See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

See also:English See also:county courts have See also:jurisdiction in fore-closure actions where the mortgage or See also:charge does not exceed £Soo; or where the mortgage is for more than Soo, but less than that sum has been actually advanced. In a Welsh mortgage there is no right to foreclosure.
