Book Description
Excerpt from Essentials to the Law of Damages Today, as is well known, the situation is altogether dif ferent. In contract, and as to pecuniary elements of dam age in-tort, the court can, and does, exercise rather a close control over the amount of damages; but, as to non-pecuniary elements of damage in torts, the jury may exercise a discretion of considerable breadth, for it is, as to such elements, exceedingly difficult, in most cases, to say that a verdict is excessive or inadequate, and it is altogether impossible to lay down practically complete general rules as in contract.
