Commutative justice and distributive justice
Commutative justice and distributive justice, Aristotle's doctrine of justice of equality is called by him commutative justice which requires at least two persons while distributive justice requires at least three. Relative equality in treating different persons while grating relief according to need, or reward and punishment according to merit and guilt is the essence of distributive justice. While in commutative justice the two persons confront each other as co-equals, there or more persons are necessary in distributive justice in which one, who imposes burdens upon or grants advantages to the others, is superior to them. 'Therefore, it presupposes an act of distributive justice which has granted to those concerned, equality to rights, equal capacity to act, equal status.' [The Legal Philosophies of Lask, Radbruch and Dabin, p. 74] According to Radbruch, 'distributive justice is the prototype of justice. In it we have found the idea of justice, toward which the concept of law must be...

Social justice
Social justice, the concept of social justice has now become such an integral part of industrial law that it would be ideal for any party to suggest that industrial adjudication can or should ignore the claims of social justice in dealing with industrial disputes. The concept of social justice is not narrow, or onesided, or pedantic, and is not con-fined to industrial adjudication alone. Its sweep is comprehensive. It is founded on the basic ideal to socio-economic equality and its aim is to assist the removal of socio-economic disparities and in-equalities; nevertheless, in dealing with industrial matters, it does not adopt a doctrinaire approach and refuses to yield blindly to abstract notions, but adopts a realistic and pragmatic approach. It, therefore, endeavours to resolve the competing claims of employers and employees by finding a solution which is just and fair to both parties with the object of establishing harmony between capital and labour, and good relationship, J.K. Cotto...
