单词 Retributive damages
释义 報應的損害賠償
A form of damages awarded for the purposes of retribution. An award of retributive damages exceeds the amount of damages necessary to compensate the claimant for loss suffered. Thus, retributive damages are not compensatory in nature; instead, they are awarded against the wrongdoer not only for the wrong done but also to punish the wrongdoer where the tort is characterised by malice, and to deter other: for example Cassell & Co Ltd v Broome [1972] AC 1027, 1 All ER 801. Retributive damages are not awarded at common law merely for wilfully wrong acts, and the damages must not be excessive or unreasonable. It may only be awarded in a limited category of cases: More commonly known as ‘punitive damages’ or exemplary damages’. See also Damages; Exemplary damages; Malice.
損害賠償的一種形式為報應的目的作出。報應的損害賠償超逾應賠償申索人所蒙受損害的款額。因此,報應的損害賠償並非賠償的性質;相反,此類賠償不僅針對做壞事的人的錯誤行為,還會懲罰有關的當事人(如主要是因為惡意而犯侵權行為)及阻嚇他人犯罪:例如Cassell & Co Ltd v Broome [1972] AC 1027, 1 All ER 801。在普通法,不僅因為故意的錯誤作為授予應報的損害賠償,而有關的賠償不應超乎適度或不合理。可能只在有限的案件類別授予此類賠償。更普遍的名稱是「懲罰性損害賠償」或「懲戒性的損害賠償」。另見 Damages; Exemplary damages; Malice。
