Record 2 2015-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Decisions (Practice and Procedural Law)
  • Legal Actions
CONT

Injuries are discussed only in the most general terms, if at all, and the periods of time that the damage award is intended to recompense is almost never mentioned. In short, the factual information which would provide some precedential value for future cases is almost invariably lacking. This can be exceedingly frustrating to those of us who are confronted with "damage award" issues on a regular basis.

OBS

Damages are the sum of money which a person wronged is entitled to receive from the wrongdoer as compensation for the wrong.

English

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

One of the basic heads of damages in contract and tort. Now a term of art with no precise difference between pain on the one hand and suffering on the other.

It includes fright at the time of injury, fear of future incapacity, possible death, insanity or inability to make a living.

Record 6 2009-06-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insurance
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

Protection or insurance against loss or damage. Most policies indemnify the insured, i.e., they are designed to put the insured back in the same position as before the fire or accident.

CONT

The principle of indemnity in insurance contracts asserts that the contract is one for restoring the insured to the same economic condition he was in prior to the happening of the insured event, but not to permit him to profit from the contingency.

PHR

Claim, give, pay, provide, receive an indemnity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Assurances
  • Commerce extérieur
CONT

Le principe de l'assurance est de rembourser l'assuré des pertes qu'il a subies et de ramener sa position financière à ce qu'elle était auparavant. L'assuré ne doit pas faire de profit en recevant plus que le montant de sa perte. C'est le principe de l'indemnité.

CONT

L'indemnité doit représenter la valeur de la chose assurée au moment du sinistre; cette indemnité ne permet donc pas, dans le cas général, d'acheter une chose neuve en remplacement de celle qui a été anéantie.

PHR

Demander, donner, payer, recevoir, réclamer, toucher, verser une indemnité. Avoir droit à une indemnité.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
