Practical Legal Guidance

Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium

"Where there is a right, there is a remedy."

Detailed 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.
