This show brings bite-sized educational minutes about different legal topics.
On today’s episode, Mathew Kerbis, The Subscription Attorney, answers the question, "What is a remedy?"
A remedy is how damages are paid.
For example, money, like we talked about last week, but there's other remedies.
Another example is injunctive relief.
That means you're asking a court to have somebody do or not do something.
If somebody is saying untrue things about you, a court could order that they stop doing it.
If you have secrets of a business, and you share them, then injunctive relief can be a court ordering you to delete or get rid of it.
If you were in a contract with somebody and the other person did their promise but you didn't keep your promise, a court could order you to keep your promise.
That's called specific performance.
If there's a disagreement about what a contract says, then a court order can provide declaratory relief, meaning the court will explain the actual meaning of those words in the contract.
