Concept of Remedial Law


The concept of Remedial Law lies at the very core of procedural due process, which means a law which hears before it condemns, which proceeds upon inquiry and renders judgment only after trial, and contemplates an opportunity to be heard before judgment is rendered. Remedial Law is that branch of law which prescribes the method of enforcing rights or obtaining redress for their invasion (Bustos vs.Lucero, GR No. L2068, 08/20/1948; First Lepanto Ceramics, Inc. vs. CA, GR No. 110571, 03/10/1994; Albert vs. University Publishing, GR No. L-19118, 01/30/1965).
