5.6 Nominal Damages are a form of legal damages awarded in civil cases when there is an injury or wrong done to a plaintiff, but no actual amount of money has been lost. Nominal Damages are typically awarded to establish a legal right or to recognize a breach of duty, rather than to compensate for a loss. There are two types of Nominal Damages: general and special. General Nominal Damages are awarded when the plaintiff has suffered a legal wrong but not actual damages, such as in cases of slander or libel. Special Nominal Damages are awarded when the plaintiff has suffered actual damages, but the court cannot determine the amount of the loss.
