Janeček: Non-Compensatory Damages in English Law

Václav Janeček has published Non-Compensatory Damages in English Law with Hart Publishing. The blurb provides:

This book gives the first detailed analysis of non-compensatory damages (‘NCDs’) as a category in English tort and contract law.

The book argues that most NCD awards are defined as those justified by damage to public interests and that they are in contrast to compensatory awards. The author argues that NCDs should be treated as a distinct class of awards. It shows how such a collective approach could be implemented in practice, without compromising the core tenets of the doctrines governing the award of NCDs. Offering both a unique theoretical framework and an emphasis on practical application, this will be of interest to both scholars and practitioners of English private law.

Václav Janeček is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol, UK.
