- W3122447303 abstract "The award of every judicial remedy, whether in the nature of declaration, coercion, compensation, restitution or punishment, can be said, in general terms, to vindicate the legal rights of the plaintiff. At the same time, remedies awarded in civil actions sometimes serve a more pronounced vindicatory purpose, particularly where the action is to protect important rights and dignitary interests. Despite frequent references to vindication in defamation and trespass cases, there is much uncertainty about the role of vindication in an award of damages. In recent times, a growing interest in the remedial role of vindication can be detected. This article aims to bring greater clarity to use of the word vindication in the law of remedies, to develop a framework for understanding the vindicatory role of remedies and to explore the role that vindication plays in tort damages. To do this, the following questions will be examined. First, what does vindication mean? Secondly, what does it mean to attribute a vindicatory purpose to a remedy? Thirdly, in what way and to what extent do tort damages achieve a vindicatory purpose? Fourthly, are there torts that by their nature require vindication as a distinct remedial purpose? (2009) 17 Tort L Rev 16 Introduction Introduction Nature of the issue and aims of the article Nature of the issue and aims of the article Judicial proceedings provide the means for enforcing legal rights in a civil society. The many reasons for which parties bring legal proceedings include vindication of rights, enforcement of duties and to obtain remedies for wrongdoing. [1] The language of vindication is intimately linked with rights-based conceptions of legal entitlements and legal wrongs. The award of every judicial remedy, whether in the nature of declaration, coercion, compensation, restitution or punishment, can be said, in general terms, to vindicate the legal rights of the plaintiff. [2] At the same time, remedies awarded in civil actions sometimes serve a more pronounced vindicatory purpose, particularly where the action is to protect important rights [3] and dignitary interests. Reference by the courts to the vindicatory nature of remedies is not new – vindication has long been referred to as an important aspect of awarding damages for defamation and trespass. Frequent references to vindication in these cases have not, however, led to clarity or consistency in the role that is assigned to vindication in an award of damages. It is also an aspect of the law of damages that has received little academic attention. Despite this, a growing interest in the remedial role of vindication can be detected in recent times. As an emerging area of inquiry, there are many issues surrounding the clarification and potential expansion of the role of vindication. This article aims to bring greater clarity (2009) 17 Tort L Rev 16 at 17 to use of the word vindication in the law of remedies, to develop a framework for understanding the vindicatory role of remedies and to explore the role that vindication plays in tort damages. To do this, the following questions will be examined. First, what does vindication mean? Secondly, what does it mean to attribute a vindicatory purpose to a remedy? Thirdly, in what way and to what extent do tort damages achieve a vindicatory purpose? Fourthly, are there torts that by their nature require vindication as a distinct remedial purpose? The first and second questions are addressed in this part of the article, though further insight into the meaning of vindication is gained in the following two parts. A distinction is drawn between the vindicatory effect of a remedy and its vindicatory purpose. A further distinction between vindication as a primary and as a secondary purpose of awarding any particular remedy is introduced in order to assist the analysis of the relationship between compensatory, aggravated, gain-based and exemplary damages, and vindication. 17 Tort L Rev 16 Wednesday, 20 November, 2013 at 13:14 EST Page 1" @default.
