Options:
to abide by things decided
let the buyer beware
where there is a wrong, there is a remedy
body of the crime
Correct Answer:
where there is a wrong, there is a remedy
Explanation:
Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium: It is a Latin maxim which means that where there is a wrong, there is a remedy. If any wrong is committed then the law provides a remedy for that. The maxim can be phrased as that any person will not suffer a wrong without a remedy, it means that once it is proved that the right was breached then equity will provide a suitable remedy. This principle also underlines the fact that no wrong should be allowed to go without any compensation if it can be redressed by a court of law. The maxim also states that the person whose right is being in- fringed has a right to enforce the infringed right through any action before a court.
