Abstract
This chapter is the first of two chapters concerned with remedies. The focus of this chapter is monetary remedies; the financial consequences of a proven tort. It begins by discussing the notion of damage, and damages, before exploring different types of damages; the principle of full compensation; the interrelationship of tort and other compensation systems; pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses; death in relation to tort; and damage to property.
