extraordinary remedy

A remedy — such as a writ of mandamus or habeas corpus — not available to a party unless necessary to preserve a right that cannot be protected by a standard legal or equitable remedy.

• Because there is no agreed list of extraordinary remedies, some standard remedies — such as preliminary and permanent injunctions — are sometimes described as extraordinary. [Cases: Mandamus 3(1)–3(2.1).C.J.S. Mandamus §§ 18–19, 21–23, 31.]
