In this episode, we explore the various types of damages awarded in Irish tort law, focusing on compensating plaintiffs for harm suffered. We’ll delve into the five main categories of damages: compensatory, aggravated, nominal, punitive/exemplary, and contemptuous. A large part of the episode will be dedicated to compensatory damages, including general damages (pain and suffering, loss of life expectancy) and special damages (medical expenses, loss of earnings), discussing how courts quantify these awards. We’ll also explore the implications of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 and address concerns about "compo culture."
