Monetary compensation in tort law: issues of adequacy and justice - Bihar Journal of Public Administration - 21(2s), Jul-Dec, 2024: p.536-548

Tort law is fundamentally aimed at compensating victims for losses they suffer
due to the wrongful actions of others. Historically, monetary compensation
has served as the primary mechanism for compensating harm, be it personal
injury, property damage, or economic loss. However, the adequacy of monetary
compensation in achieving justice is increasingly being questioned. This also
sermon reconnoitres the issues surrounding the adequacy of monetary awards
in tort law and examines whether they serve justice beyond mere economic
restitution. By snooping into principles of fairness, human suffering, and socioeconomic inequalities, this article posits that the current framework for monetary
compensation in tort cases is insuffi cient and calls for a rethinking of how justice
can be achieved for victims. - Reproduced
