REMEDY (from Ljit. rrmcdium, cure, from re-, back a;;ain, anew + iiicdcri. Av. mad, to heal). In Uiw, the means by which the violation or invasion of a legal right is either prevented, redressed, or compensated. The term in fact is the correlative of the term legal right, there being in general no right without a corresponding remedy for its violation. The term remedy, however, does not include punishment, and therefore has no application in the criminal law.

The various forms of remedy afforded by the law may be classified as: (1) Remedy by act of the injured party, or self-help: (2) remedy by operation of law; (3) remedy by action or suit.

(1) Remedy by the act of the injured party includes all those rights conferred by law on private persons to protect themselves or their property from injury, and in certain cases to redress wrongs done, without recourse to legal proceedings. In general, remedy by act of the party, or self-help, is permitted by law whenever the remedy afforded by action would be less effective and when the privilege thus accorded to the individual to take the law into his own hands is not inconsistent with sound public policy. Thus, in general, one may defend his person and property from unlawful attacks provided he use no more force than is necessary to accomplish that result. (See Self-Defense.) One who has been unlawfully deprived of his property may upon fresh pursuit forcibly retake the property, but if the pursuit is not made immediately following the wrongful taking, or if the property has passed into the hands of an innocent holder, his only remedy is by action to recover the property or damages for its conversion. Other forms of remedy by act of the injured party are distress, right of entry, and abatement of a nuisance.

(2) There is perhaps but a single true example of remedy by operation of law, and that is the ancient doctrine of remitter, which may briefly be stated as follows: At common law one who was dispossessed of his real estate under certain circumstances had a mere right of action to recover his property; he had no right to re-enter upon the property and thus acquire possession, his sole remedy being by action. If, however, he became entitled to the property by inheritance or purchase through the person wrongfully in possession, he was entitled to possession of the property, and upon taking possession under his new but defective title, he might then retain possession by virtue of his valid title. He was then said to be remitted to his rights under the valid title. The doctrine is of slight importance in modern practice.

(3) Remedy by action is the relief or redress afforded to one whose legal right has been invaded, by means of a legal proceeding carried on in a court having jurisdiction over the subject of the suit and the parties to it. See and.
