Excerpt from The Doctrine of Damnum Absque Injuriâ Considered in Its Relation to the Law of Torts
The subject may at first blush appear to be one of exceptions to general rules. I have endeavored, by statement of principle, and such illustration as I thought would be acceptable, to sys tematize the law upon the matter, and from its scattered con dition it has not been a very easy task. I h0pe to have taken at least one step towards demonstrating. That it is not a mere abnormal growth, nor a bundle of exceptions, and that it may perhaps be entitled to rank as a distinct branch of the law, although a minor branch, presenting no greater proportion of isolated features or discordant elements than many others. However this may be, the result of investigating the law that has grown around a Latin phrase is now before the reader.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of 'damnum absque injuria,' or damage without injury, in the eyes of the law. The author begins by defining a tort, or legal wrong, and contrasting it with instances where damage occurs but there is no wrongful act, and therefore no legal remedy. The book provides numerous real-life examples to illustrate the distinction between the two, showing how the law often prioritizes preventing legal wrongs (torts) over granting a remedy for every harm suffered. Through these examples, the author demonstrates that although the law aims to provide justice, there are practical and societal reasons why it cannot always offer compensation for every loss.
