The type of damages awarded in the law of torts:

Option A: Liquidated Damages

Option B: Unliquidated damages

Option C: Penal damages

Option D: Exemplary damages

Correct Answer

Option: b

Explanation

Unliquidated damages are those damages which are not predetermined and are based upon the evaluation of loss the person has suffered. Unliquidated damages are awarded in cases of tort, as both of the parties are unaware of the potential loss’s compensatory equivalence and therefore, it is s not possible for them to fix the amount of compensation beforehand.
