REMEDIES
LAW5RMD
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This is a capstone subject focused on private law remedies - the doctrines governing the orders a court may make to remedy a breach of legal or equitable duty. Students will have touched on remedies in almost every other core subject in the Juris Doctor. This subject consolidates and builds upon that existing knowledge and gives students an opportunity to draw together the disparate threads of the Juris Doctor and compare the various outcomes possible across different doctrines and areas of law. As well as gaining an ability to identify and apply key common law and equitable principles governing remedies, students will be expected to demonstrate their developing professional judgment in assessing which remedies may best meet the client's interests in a particular situation.
