Tort Law
The compensation of damages is the means to try to place the suffered party into the economic situation where the party would be without the occurred damage. By the principal rule the party who causes damage to another party, deliberately or by negligence, is liable for damages.
In a contractual relation the party liable for damages is the one who has caused economic damage to another party by the breach of a contract.
So called normal damage situations are those when there is no contractual relationship between the damaging party and the injured party. In these situations, when compensation for damages is applied, the injured party has to prove the suffered damage and the causal connection between the act and the occurred damages. In addition the party demanding for compensation has to be able to prove the negligence in the actions of the damaging party.
