presumed damages
- Damages assumed by law to naturally and inevitably come from a wrongful act, making proof unnecessary
- In a defamation case, presumed damages can be awarded even if the plaintiff has not proven any actual harm.
- If the act is considered inherently harmful, presumed damages may be used as a form of compensation.
- Presumed damages help to ensure justice when proof of harm is not the primary concern.
