How to use "Recourse" in context?
"recourse" is a legal term referring to a legal option for handling a problem. In other words, recourse allows a person or entity to take legal action in order to resolve a dispute or address a problem.
For example, if you owe money to someone and you don't want to pay them back, you might choose to file for bankruptcy. This is an option you have recourse to because it is a legal way to solve your financial problems.
Similarly, if you are unhappy with the service you received from a company, you might choose to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
