ELECTION OF REMEDIES

Latman v. Burdette, 366 F.3d 774 (9th Cir. 2004)

“The doctrine of election of remedies prevents a party from obtaining double redress for a

single wrong. . . .As a general rule, three elements must be present for a party to be bound to an

election of remedies: (1) two or more remedies must have existed at the time of the election; (2)

these remedies must be repugnant and inconsistent with each other, and (3) the party to be bound

must have affirmatively chosen, or elected, between the available remedies.
