Which statement about remedial law is NOT a function?

• A. Prescribes the method of enforcing rights
• B. Is separate from substantive law
• C. Governs remedies in litigation
• D. Provides relief or remedies within the law itself

Answer: (B)

Remedial law is about enforcing rights and securing remedies through the procedures and rules that govern litigation. It works to implement the rights created by substantive law, providing the means to obtain relief and to carry out enforcement.

The statement that remedial law is separate from substantive law describes a relationship rather than a function. Remedial law is not a standalone, separate domain; it functions to give effect to substantive rights by prescribing how those rights are enforced, what remedies are available in litigation, and what relief the law provides. Therefore, saying it is separate from substantive law is not a function of remedial law. The other points—prescribing methods of enforcement, governing remedies in litigation, and providing relief within the law—are accurate functions of remedial law.
