Legal remedy

A legal remedy is what a judge or court can do to try and fix a problem. Usually when someone has done something wrong to another person, the judge or court will look at what happened and come up with a way to try and make it better. Sometimes the legal remedy might be money to pay for any losses or any pain and suffering caused by the wrong thing being done. Sometimes the legal remedy is for the wrong-doer to do something to try and make up for doing the wrong thing.
