Excerpt from Essentials to the Law of Damages
Today, as is well known, the situation is altogether dif ferent. In contract, and as to pecuniary elements of dam age in-tort, the court can, and does, exercise rather a close control over the amount of damages; but, as to non-pecuniary elements of damage in torts, the jury may exercise a discretion of considerable breadth, for it is, as to such elements, exceedingly difficult, in most cases, to say that a verdict is excessive or inadequate, and it is altogether impossible to lay down practically complete general rules as in contract.
