Legal Definitions - extrajudicial remedy

An extrajudicial remedy is a way to enforce a right or fix a wrong that does not involve going to court. This can include actions like repossession or self-help remedies.

For example, if a landlord has a tenant who has not paid rent, they may be able to use extrajudicial remedies like changing the locks or removing the tenant's belongings from the property. These actions are not done through the court system.

Extrajudicial remedies are different from judicial remedies, which are remedies granted by a court. Judicial remedies can include things like monetary damages or injunctions.
