This subject deals with the range of court-ordered remedies available to a plaintiff in civil proceedings. This subject brings together what students have studied or are studying in subjects such as equity, contract and tort into one coherent subject. The relevant theoretical and practical considerations that underpin remedies available to enforce rights and duties are also considered.

The more common remedies are those administered either at common law or in equity and are studied under the following broad topic areas: damages; equitable remedies (declarations, specific performance, injunctions, account, equitable damages); and statutory and common law remedies for deceptive conduct. Bankruptcy and insolvency are also considered.

This subject aims to provide an understanding of:
