Abstract
The article analyzes the manifestations of the principle of equity in the regulation of contractual relations in the form of "equal scope", "proportionality" of the rights of parties to contractual relations, prevention of abuse by one of the parties and protection of the "weak" side in specific types of contracts under the influence of the ancient legal heritage and the ideas of Christianity in the sources of law of Byzantium, including the Eclogue 726 (741), as well as in the works of T. Aquinas and other theologians and canonists of the Catholic Church in the era of the advanced Middle Ages.
