Definition of Parratt–Hudson doctrine
The Parratt–Hudson Doctrine is a legal principle that states that if a state actor (such as a government official or agency) accidentally or randomly takes away someone's property without proper authorization, it does not violate the person's right to due process if the state provides an adequate remedy after the fact.
For example, if a prison guard accidentally damages an inmate's personal property, the inmate cannot sue for a due process violation if the prison has a system in place to compensate the inmate for the damage.
This doctrine was established in two Supreme Court cases: Parratt v. Taylor (1981) and Hudson v. Palmer (1984).
