Maxim 8.1.35

Let no one depart from the Court of Chancery without a remedy.

Nullus recedat e curia cancellaria sine remedio.

Source: 4 H. 7, 4; Jackson Difficulty 2/5 — Approachable

Explanation

The equity court exists to provide relief where the common law cannot — no suitor who presents a just cause should leave Chancery without a remedy for his grievance.

Where this applies

  • The common law courts can't help me — I need an equitable remedy.
  • My case requires a fairness-based solution that the regular rules don't provide.
