A quick definition of Remedy:

A remedy is a way for a court to help someone who has been wronged. There are three types of remedies:

  • Damages: This means the person who did wrong has to pay money to the person they hurt or fix what they broke.
  • Coercive remedies: This means the court can make the person who did wrong do something or stop doing something.
  • Declaratory judgment: This means the court can decide who is right in a situation without making anyone pay money or do something.

There are also temporary remedies that can help someone while the court is still figuring out what to do. These include things like temporary orders to stop someone from doing something harmful.

A more thorough explanation:

A remedy is a way for a court to enforce a legal right that has been violated. There are three main types of remedies:

  • Damages: This is when the plaintiff receives monetary compensation for their losses, injuries, or pain. For example, if someone is injured in a car accident, they may sue the other driver for damages to cover their medical bills and lost wages.
  • Coercive remedies: This is when the court orders a party to do or not do something. For example, if a company is polluting a river, the court may order them to stop polluting and clean up the river.
  • Declaratory judgment: This is when the court determines the rights of the parties involved without awarding damages or ordering a specific action. For example, if there is a dispute over who owns a piece of property, the court may issue a declaratory judgment to determine who has the legal right to the property.

Provisional remedies are also available to plaintiffs while their rights are being determined. These include temporary injunctions, attachment, and garnishment.

Overall, a remedy is a way for the court to make things right when someone's legal rights have been violated.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Sent an app to OSU in early december and have STILL not heard back
Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.

It is frustrating when people are admitted who applied after you. But that’s just part of the game I guess
