Damages

The common law remedy of damages is also provided for in section 115(2) of the CA, with provision for aggravated damages in section 115(4) and conversion damages in section 116. The purpose of damages is to compensate the plaintiff for the loss which he or she has sustained as a consequence of the defendant's contravention of their right.
