Jeremy defines it as used in courts of equity ,
to be "
an occurrence in relation to a contract ,
which was not anticipated by the parties ,
when the same was entered into ,
and which gives an undue advantage to one of them over the other in a court of law ."
Jer .
on Eq .
358 .
This definition is objected to ,
because as accident may arise in relation to other things besides contracts ,
it is inaccurate in confining accidents to contracts ;
besides ,
it does not exclude cases of unanticipated occurrences ,
resulting from the negligence or misconduct of the party seeking relief .

2 .
In general ,
courts of equity will relieve a party who cannot obtain justice in consequence of an accident ,
which will justify the interposition of a court of equity .
The jurisdiction being concurrent ,
will be maintained only ,
first ,
when a court of law cannot grant suitable relief ;
and ,
secondly ,
when the party has a conscientious title to relief .
3 .
Many accidents are redressed in a court of law ;
as loss of deeds ,
mistakes in receipts and accounts ,
wrong payments ,
death ,
which makes it impossible to perform a condition literally ,
and a multitude of other contingencies ;
and many cannot be redressed even in a court of equity ;
is if by accident a recovery is ill suffered ,
a contingent remainder destroyed ,
or a power of leasing omitted in a family settlement .
