It is just that every person is entitled to a certain remedy in the laws for all injuries or wrongs which he may receive in his person, property or character.

Explanation

(English-origin maxim.) Every person is entitled to a remedy at law for injuries to his person, property, or reputation — the right to redress is itself a fundamental right.

Where this applies

• A worker injured on the job is entitled to a legal remedy for the harm to his body, whether through workers' compensation or a tort lawsuit.
• A woman whose reputation is destroyed by a newspaper's false report has a right to sue for defamation — she is entitled to a remedy for the injury to her character.
• A homeowner whose land is flooded by a neighbor's construction project has a right to sue for property damage — every injury to person, property, or reputation deserves a legal remedy.
