A quick definition of damna:

DAMNA is a term that refers to damages, which are losses or harm caused to someone. It can also mean the amount of money a plaintiff has to pay to the court before they can receive compensation for damages. This fee was originally a gratuity to court clerks for preparing special pleadings and was later abolished by statute.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Damna (dam-nə) is a historical term that refers to damages or losses. It was derived from the Latin word "damnum."

There are three types of damna:

  1. Damages, exclusive of costs.
  2. Damages, inclusive of costs.
  3. Damna clericorum, which is the Latin equivalent to damage-cleer. It is a portion of damages that constitutes the clerk's fee.

Example: In the past, if someone sued another person and won, they would have to pay a fee to the court clerk before they could receive their damages. This fee was called damage-cleer or damna clericorum. The fee was a set amount that was payable to the Court of the Common Pleas, King's Bench, or Exchequer before execution on an award of damages. The fee was abolished by statute.

This example illustrates how damna clericorum was a portion of damages that constituted the clerk's fee. It also shows how the fee was abolished by statute.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
