Where there is a right, there is a remedy. This is a foundational principle of every common law legal system, including ours. We have long called it a "time-honored maxim." See Von Glahn v. Harris, 73 N.C. 323, 332 (1875). It is even enshrined in the North Carolina Constitution. See N.C. Const. art. I, § 18.
