The present study focuses on one aspect of Jean Gerson’s (1363–1429) judicial influence in England: the development of the concept of equity or  epikeia . By analysing particularities of Gerson’s interpretation of  epikeia , the study examines the reasons why his take on equity attracted attention in the socio-political context of 16 th  century England. It also explores distinctions between various understandings of equity, which was gradually introduced into common law under Thomas More’s chancellorship and thanks to Christopher St. German’s writings. Making the reference to today’s interest in the concept of equity, article aims to serve as a link between scholarship and contemporary political and judicial thinking.
