In this case, they may be called upon to give opinion evidence as an expert witness.Д¬ompensatory damages are paid to compensate the claimant for loss, injury, or harm suffered by the claimant as a result of another's breach of duty that caused the loss. It may be useful for the lawyers, the plaintiff and/or the defendant to employ forensic accountants or someone trained in the relevant field of economics to give evidence on the value of the loss. This rule does not usually apply to intentional torts (for example, tort of deceit), and also has stunted applicability to the quantum in negligence where the maxim 'Intended consequences are never too remote]' applies: 'never' is inaccurate here but resorts to unforeseeable direct and natural consequences of an act. If a defendant could not reasonably have foreseen that someone might be hurt by their actions, there may be no liability. Damages are likely to be limited to those reasonably foreseeable by the defendant. This principle governs the recovery of all compensatory damages, whether the underlying claim is based on contract, tort, or both. This is known as the principle of proximate cause. Recovery of damages by a plaintiff in lawsuit is subject to the legal principle that damages must be proximately caused by the wrongful conduct of the defendant. If property was stolen or someone was injured or killed, the guilty person had to pay the weregild as restitution to the victim's family or to the owner of the property.
