Harold Townsend · Answer 1

To seek redress means to seek to right something that was unjust. In this sense it often means to gain satisfaction in response to a grievance or complaint about an unjust situation such as an undue loss or damages. Satisfying a redress may involve financial reparations or punishment in the case of violent crimes.
