The law cannot fail in dispensing justice.

Explanation

If the law appears to fail a party seeking justice, the fault lies in the application, not in the law itself. A court must find a way to do justice within the law.

Where this applies

• A person cannot find a legal remedy for a clear injustice.
• The court system seems unable to provide justice in a particular case.
