solatium

Read a random definition: ex-works price

A quick definition of solatium:

Solatium: Compensation given to someone for their emotional pain or suffering, rather than physical injury. It comes from the Latin word "solace".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Solatium (s-lay-shee-um) is a legal term used in Scots law to refer to compensation or damages awarded for emotional distress, hurt feelings, or grief, rather than physical injury.

Example 1: In a case where a family member has been wrongfully killed, the court may award solatium to the surviving family members for their emotional pain and suffering.

Example 2: A person who has been defamed may be entitled to solatium for the harm caused to their reputation and emotional distress, in addition to any damages awarded for financial losses.

These examples illustrate how solatium is a form of compensation that is awarded for non-physical harm, such as emotional distress or reputational damage. It is intended to provide solace or comfort to the injured party, rather than to compensate for any specific financial losses or physical injuries.
