Question

Which one of the following is true about Latin Maxim 'Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium'?

• A. Where there is right, there is remedy.
• B. Where there is remedy, there is right.
• C. Both A & B
• D. None of the Above

Hint:

Remember 'Jus' means right and 'Remedium' means remedy. The maxim asserts that a legal right must have a legal remedy for its violation. The existence of a right logically precedes the provision of a remedy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Latin maxim 'Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium' translates to "Where there is a right, there is a remedy." It is a foundational principle of law, meaning that if a person's legal right is violated, the law must provide a mechanism or remedy to enforce that right or compensate for its infringement. A right without a remedy is considered meaningless. This principle ensures that legal rights are not just theoretical but are practically enforceable through the courts.
