Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium
"Where there is a right, there is a remedy."
In Simple Terms
If the law gives you a right, the law must also give you some way to enforce it.
Detailed Legal Meaning
This maxim expresses the principle that a legal right without an accompanying remedy is meaningless; wherever the law recognizes a right as having been violated, it must provide some means of redress, whether by way of damages, injunction, or other relief.
Common Court Usage
Invoked in argument to support the existence of a remedy for a right the opposing side claims is unenforceable.
