speedy remedy

A remedy that, under the circumstances, can be pursued expeditiously before the aggrieved party has incurred substantial detriment.

• “Speedy remedy” is an informal expression with no fixed meaning — that is, what is considered speedy in one context may not be considered speedy in other contexts. For example, the Federal Tax Injunction Act requires a “plain, speedy, and efficient remedy” in state courts. But the Act does not require preliminary or injunctive relief — or even interest for delay. [Cases: Injunction 1. C.J.S. Injunctions §§ 2–4, 12, 14, 22, 24, 166.]
