“It is the duty of a good judge to enlarge his jurisdiction.”
A good judge is one who enlarges his remedial authority. It is the duty of a judge to extend his jurisdiction.
This maxim suggests that a judge has the power to amplify and further develop his jurisdiction and it is his duty as a judicial authority to provide remedial justice to the parties, by means of expanding scope if required.
As interpreted by Lord Abinger in Russel V. Smyth, 9 M. & W.,818 “the maxim of the English law is to, amplify its remedies, and without usurping jurisdiction, apply its rules to the advancement of substantial justice.
