The term "damnum sine injuria" is more properly stated "damnum sine injuria esse potest". It means "There may be an injury inflicted without any act of injustice." There is another term like it that is "damnum absque injuria", which means damage or harm without an injury in the legal sense. In other words a loss or injury to someone which does not give that person a right to sue the person causing the loss.

What is damnum in the law of tort?

I believe you may be referring to: "DAMNUM ABSQUE INJURIA" which means a loss or damage without injury. Examples from: http://www.lectlaw.com/def/d101.htm One man may cause a damage or loss to another, for which the latter has no remedy. He is then said to have received 'damnum absque injuria.' For example, if a man sets up a business in the neighborhood of another identical business, and by doing so, deprives the latter of its patronage. Another instance might be where a man excavates a foundation with proper care and diligence, but injures an adjoining house due to the unsuitable materials used in constructing that house, the injury is 'damnum absque injuria.' Another: When a man slanders another by publishing the truth about that person then the slandered person is said to have suffered loss without injury.


Give an example of 'damnum sine injuria'?

ex1 a new" abc" school opens besides "xyz"school..whose fees is much lower than the xyz school ..on account of which people started patronising the new school.The old 'xyz" school filed a case against the latter saying that they had caused them financial loss and claimed compensation. The court held that no legal right had been violated and as such no compensation can be granted. Thus if damage is caused which does not lead to violation of a legal right then no action lies under tort law. ex2 driving away a competitor out of trade by offering cheap freight charges to customers who would deal with him .
