This article is devoted to the system of civil law remedies applicable in the common law
states, in particular, in England. The subject of the research covers the specific civil law
remedies which are applied by the courts and in self-defence, as well as generally applicable
classifications of such methods of protection. The analysis of a vast number of judicial
precedents concerning the application of the main methods of protection of civil rights has
been carried out. The categories of civil law remedies, which are used in an out-of-court and
judicial (including those used at various stages of the trial) procedure, have been highlighted.
It was revealed that the main civil law remedy is compensation or compensation for losses
of the plaintiff. It is shown that the protection of civil rights in Anglo-Saxon law is aimed at
the most effective protection of the rights of the plaintiff, but not punishment or diminution
of the rights of the defendant. It was also revealed that in Anglo-Saxon law there are similar
(the same type) civil law remedies, which were formed in parallel in common law and
the law of justice. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the system of
civil law remedies in the common law is complex and overloaded, which complicates law
enforcement and applying for protection of the right.

Keywords: protection of rights; remedies; Anglo-Saxon (common) law; self-defense of
rights; judicial protection of rights.
