Basically it means that there is no set amount of money attributed to the 'injury/harm' done to the plaintiff. Whereas pecuniary would indicate a specified amount of money has been set by the existing law relating to the offense.

De facto equality?

de facto means 'concerning fact' or 'in reality'. So de jure (concerning law) equality would mean equality in law (but not necessarily in fact) and de facto equality would mean equality in practice. A good real life example is race relations in the US. The 1965 Civil Rights Act ended de jure discrimination and inequality in America, but de facto discrimination and inequality persisted.
