A remedy allowed by courts where remedies at law are not appropriate and that is based on rules of fairness, justice, and honesty is called what?

Common law remedy
Remedy at law
Remedy in equity
Civil law remedy

The correct answer is: Remedy in equity

A remedy in equity is a remedy allowed by courts when there are no appropriate remedies under common law. Common law refers to laws created through court decisions rather than statutes; whereas, civil laws are created through legislation, and a civil law remedy would typically be sought through a judicial process. A remedy at law would be a remedy available under statutes and laws rather than through court decisions. By process of elimination, a remedy allowed in court based on fairness, justice, and honesty is typically referred to as a remedy in equity.
