A quick definition of injuria absque damno:

Term: INJURIA ABSQUE DAMNO

Definition: Injuria absque damno means "injury without damage" in Latin. It refers to a legal wrong that cannot be sued because it did not cause any harm. There are two types of torts: those that are actionable per se and those that require proof of actual damage. For example, trespassing on someone's land is actionable even if it did not cause any harm, while slander is usually not actionable without proof of actual damage.

A more thorough explanation:

INJURIA ABSQUE DAMNO

Injuria absque damno (injury without damage) is a legal wrong that cannot be sued because it did not cause any harm. It is also known as injuria sine damno. Damnum sine injuria is the opposite of this term.

For example, if someone insults you but it does not cause any harm to you, then it is injuria absque damno. You cannot sue that person for this because it did not cause any damage to you.

Similarly, if someone trespasses on your land but does not cause any harm to you or your property, then it is also injuria absque damno. You cannot sue that person for this because it did not cause any damage to you.

However, if someone defames you by spreading false information about you, then it is actionable per se, which means you can sue that person even if it did not cause any harm to you. This is an example of a tort that is actionable without proof of actual damage.

Overall, injuria absque damno refers to a legal wrong that is not actionable because it did not cause any harm.
