The law wills that, in every case where a man is wronged and endamaged, he shall always have a remedy.

Explanation

(English-origin maxim.) The law guarantees a remedy for every wrong — no man may be injured without recourse, and for every violation of a right the law provides a means of redress.

Where this applies

• A man whose car is wrongfully impounded by the city is entitled to a legal remedy — the law will not leave him without recourse.
• A tenant illegally evicted in the dead of winter has a right to immediate judicial relief because the law guarantees a remedy for every wrong.
• A small-business owner whose shop is shut down without due process can go to court because the law promises that no one who is wronged will be left without a remedy.
