This idea of aequitas is later found in the Summa of Stephen of Tournai, who was a French canonist trained in Bologna, writing the Summa after his return to France in 1166, he was one of the first authors of a French school of canon law.
The principle of aequitas was also used by Pope Innocent III in 1202 to justify the possi [*101] bility of switching to a possessory action from a petitory action at any stage of a law suit.
Aequitas in canon law was, therefore, a necessary conceptual instrument for the professor in the classroom, for the professional judge in the church courts and for the papal legislator in the Roman curia.
