Synopsis

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.
