Note 188 — Chapter XI · THE KINDS OF LEGAL RIGHTS.
Reading edition
The term enforcement is here used in a wide sense to include the maintenance of a right or duty by any form of compulsory legal process, whether civil or criminal. There is a narrower use of the term, in which it includes only the case of civil proceedings. It is in this sense that we have already defined civil justice as being concerned with the enforcement of rights, and criminal justice as being concerned with the punishment of wrongs. As to the distinction between recognising and enforcing a right, see Dicey, Conflict of Laws, p. 31, 2nd ed.
