It is the duty of a good judge to extend justice.

Explanation

Where justice requires it, a judge should apply his remedial authority liberally — not to usurp jurisdiction, but to ensure that no wrong goes unremedied for want of procedure.

Where this applies

• My case doesn't fit neatly into any existing category but I clearly deserve a remedy.
• The court should use its authority creatively to ensure justice is done.
