Assess the available remedies for the established or alleged wrong in {dispute_facts}, since a valid claim with no worthwhile remedy is a hollow victory. (1) Confirm liability is the premise: remedies presuppose an established wrong, so identify which claim the remedy attaches to. (2) Quantify legal (monetary) remedies first: for contract, expectation damages (the benefit of the bargain) with the limits of foreseeability, certainty, and the duty to mitigate; for tort, compensatory damages for actual loss, and whether the facts support any enhanced damages. State the measure and what evidence would prove each. (3) Test whether damages are adequate — because equitable remedies (specific performance, injunction) are available only where money can't make the plaintiff whole, such as unique goods or ongoing harm, and requesting equity where damages suffice fails. (4) Consider restitution where the defendant was unjustly enriched, which measures the defendant's gain rather than the plaintiff's loss and can exceed damages. (5) Account for the practical layer: is the defendant collectible, are there fee-shifting provisions, and what's the litigation cost against the realistic recovery? (6) Recommend the remedy or combination worth pursuing, and note that available remedies and their limits are jurisdiction-specific and require a licensed attorney's assessment.
