de acuerdo con lo que manda la ley, visto el fondo de la cuestión
En Wikipedia encontré esta definición, espero que te sirva:
On the merits refers to a legal decision based on the facts in evidence and the law pertaining to those facts, because the judge considers technical and procedural defenses to be overcome or irrelevant.
This is related somewhat to equity, a group of rights and procedures intended to provide fairness, unhampered by technical requirements of the law. In either case, the court tries to "do the right thing".
King Edward III of England first established the separate High Court of Chancery to reach decisions based on equity or fairness, as opposed to the strict terms of the Common Law. Since then, most jurisdictions have merged courts of law and courts of equity into one court system.
