| 单词 | Unliquidated damages |
| 释义 | 未經算定損害賠償 Damages for a loss whose existence is certain, but whose worth in damages can of its nature only be estimated, not calculated exactly. The common law described some causes of action (for example, debt) as sounding in ‘liquidated’ damages, and treated all others as unliquidated. Unliquidated damages claims are not provable debts in a bankruptcy, except for those arising through breach of contract, promise, or breach of trust: Bankruptcy Ordinance (Cap 6) s 34; Law Society of Hong Kong v Wong Siu Ki Oswald & Ors [2001] 4 HKC 636. Where a writ is indorsed with a claim against a defendant for unliquidated damages only, then, if that defendant fails to give notice of intention to defend, the plaintiff may, after the prescribed time, enter interlocutory judgment against that defendant for damages to be assessed and costs: The Rules of High Court (Cap 4A) O 13 r 2. An award of unliquidated damages must be fair and reasonable from the point of view of both the plaintiff and defendant: H West & Sons Ltd v Shephard [1964] AC 326. Unliquidated damages include damages claimed for loss of enjoyment of life, loss of expectation of life, pain and suffering, or loss of reputation, all of which largely involve conjecture, based on some general guidelines. To be contrasted with ‘liquidated damages’. See also Default judgment; Liquidated damages; Summary judgment. 就某損失作出的損害賠償，該損失的存在是確定的，但其損害賠償的價值本身只可是估計的而非精確地計算的價值。普通法稱某些訴訟因由（例如債項）為「算定-」損害賠償的測試方法，而將所有其他的訴訟因由視為未經算定-。未經算定-的損害賠償申索不屬破產案中的可證債權，除非該損害賠償申索是因違反合約、承諾或信託而產生：《破產條例》（第6章）第34條；Law Society of Hong Kong v Wong Siu Ki Oswald & Ors [2001] 4 HKC 636。凡令狀註有只就一筆未經算定的損害賠償而針對被告人提出的申索，如該被告人沒有發出擬抗辯通知書，則原告人可在訂明的時限過後，就損害賠償（有待評估）及訟費，登錄被告人敗訴的非正審判決：《高等法院規則》（第4A章）第13號命令第2條規則。未經算定-的損害賠償的裁決包括：就生活享受的損失而作出的損害賠償、預計壽命的損失，及受痛楚、痛苦以及信譽的損失，以上所有均主要涉及根據若干基本指引的揣測。與「算定-損害賠償」相對。另見 Default judgment; Liquidated damages; Summary judgment。 |
