In every civil cause or matter law and equity shall be administered concurrently. The Court in the exercise of the jurisdiction vested in it shall have power to grant and shall grant, either absolutely or on such reasonable conditions as shall seem just, all such remedies whatsoever as any of the parties thereto may appear to be entitled to in respect of any and every legal or equitable claim or defence properly brought forward by them respectively in such cause or matter, so that so far as possible all matters in controversy between the said parties respectively may be completely and finally determined, and all multiplicity of legal proceedings concerning any of such matters be avoided. In all matters in which there is any conflict or variance between the rules of law and the rules of equity with reference to the same matter, the rules of equity shall prevail.
