§ 24442. When Unequal Partition is Ordered, Compensation may be
Adjudged in Certain Cases.
When it appears that partition cannot be made equal between the
parties, according to their respective rights, without prejudice to the rights
and interests of some of them, and a partition be ordered, the court may
adjudge compensation to be made by one party to another on account of the
inequality; but such compensation shall not be required to be made to others

promoted thereby. And in all cases the court has power to make
compensatory adjustment between the respective parties, according to the
ordinary principles of equity.
