A quick definition of specific remedy:

A specific remedy is a way to fix a problem when someone has been wronged. It can be something like getting the thing that was promised in a contract, or making sure that someone stops doing something bad. Sometimes, a court can give money to make up for the harm that was done, but other times they can make things right in a different way. A specific remedy is a special kind of solution that is made just for the problem at hand.

A more thorough explanation:

A specific remedy is a legal or equitable relief that is awarded to enforce a right or prevent or redress a wrong. It is a means of obtaining justice when someone has been wronged or is about to be wronged.

For example, if a seller fails to deliver goods as promised, the buyer can seek a specific remedy by asking the court to order the seller to deliver the specified goods instead of paying damages. This is different from a substitutional remedy, where the court orders the seller to pay damages instead of delivering the goods.

Another example of a specific remedy is an injunction, which is a court order that requires a person to stop doing something or to do something. For instance, if a neighbor is causing a nuisance by playing loud music, the affected neighbor can seek an injunction to stop the noise.

Overall, a specific remedy is a powerful tool that can help individuals and businesses obtain justice and protect their rights.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
