Give more details or examples of the phrase " no adequate remedy at law".
The phrase "no adequate remedy at law" is often used in legal contexts where a party is seeking equitable relief, rather than monetary damages alone. It means that the legal remedies available (such as monetary compensation) are insufficient to address the harm suffered. Here are some examples:
- Injunctions: When a party seeks to prevent another from performing a specific act because monetary damages wouldn't suffice.

- Specific Performance: Compelling a party to fulfill their contractual obligations when monetary damages wouldn't adequately compensate the harmed party.
- Rescission: Cancelling a contract due to misrepresentation or mistake, as money alone can't rectify the situation.
