"Ubi Jus Ibi Remedium" (e "injuria sine damno")

Del "voto particular" de Lord Holt en Ashby v White:

[...] but I differ from them, for I think the action well maintrtinable, that the plaintiff had a right to vote, and that in consequence thereof the law gives him a remedy, if he is obstructed; and this action is the proper remedy. [...] And here the plaintiff having this right, it is apparent that the officer did exclude him from the enjoyment of it, wherein none will say he has done well, but wrong to the plaintiff; and it is not at all material whether the candidate, that he would have voted for, were chosen, or likely to be, for the plaintiffs right is the same, and being hindered of that, he has injury done him, for which he ought to have remedy. It is a vain thing to imagine, there should be right without a remedy; for want of right and want of remedy are convertibles: if a statute gives a right, the common law will give remedy to maintain it; and where-ever there is injury, it imports a damage [...]

Marbury v. Madison (1803)

"The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual, to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. [...] In the 3d vol. of his commentaries, p. 23, Blackstone states two cases in which a remedy is aforded by mere operation of law.  "In all other cases," he says, "it is a general and indisputable rule, that where there is a legal right, there is also a legal remedy by suit or action at law, whenever, that right is invaded. [...] It is a settled and invariable principle, that every right, when withheld, must have a remedy, and every injury its proper redress."
