Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

In assessing damages under tort theory, each person is supposed to recover what he personally has lost. Not only does the person with a large salary or heavy medical costs receive full compensation, but the non-pecuniary or psychic losses are also recompensated. Pain and suffering is assessed.

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

L'évaluation des dommages-intérêts selon les principes de ce droit se fait de manière à redonner à une personne ce qu'elle a elle-même perdu. Non seulement la personne dont le salaire est très élevé ou qui a dû payer des frais médicaux considérables reçoit-elle une indemnité complète, mais le préjudice non pécuniaire ou moral est aussi réparé. On évalue les souffrances.
