Legal Remedies
Legal remedies are the ways a court can resolve a legal dispute and provide compensation to a party harmed by another's actions. These remedies typically include monetary compensation (damages) for losses suffered, injunctions requiring a party to do or stop doing something, and specific performance, where a party is ordered to fulfill a contract. The goal of legal remedies is to restore the injured party to the position they were in before the harm occurred, addressing injustices and ensuring accountability within the legal system.

Legal remedies are means by which a court enforces a right or compensates for a violation or injury. They typically fall into two categories: monetary damages, which involve payment to compensate for losses, and equitable remedies, which may include orders to do or refrain from doing something. For example, if someone breaches a contract, a legal remedy might involve paying the other party for losses incurred. Legal remedies aim to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the violation not occurred.
