Facts tending to enable Court to determine amount are relevant in suits for damages

AI Assist

Summary

Facts that help fix how much compensation should be awarded are relevant in any suit claiming damages. When a plaintiff seeks money for loss, evidence such as bills, receipts, invoices, medical reports or wage statements may be considered. The court can rely on those facts to decide the quantum of damages.

Example

Priya slips in a shop and injures her leg, then sues the shopkeeper for damages. Her hospital bills, medicine receipts and payslips showing lost wages are facts the court can consider to fix how much compensation she should get.

Bare Act

Enacted text

In suits in which damages are claimed, any fact which will enable the Court to determine the amount of damages which ought to be awarded, is relevant.
