Abstract

The 'compensation principle' is generally taken to underpin any award of damages. That is, plaintiffs should not receive more in compensation than the loss they incurred because of the defendant's wrongful act (though awards of exemplary or additional damages are exceptions to this general rule). Calculation of those damages is, however, complicated if what was lost was taxable but the damages are not. In such cases what amountws are the courts to award. This paper examines the 'rules' that have been developed to assess quantum in cases, both, where the loss and the compensation are both taxable and where the loss was taxable but the compensation is not.
