Measure of Damages (under English law)

When someone does something wrong and it causes harm to someone else (like breaking a toy or hurting a person), the person who was harmed can ask for help to make things better. One way to do this is to measure how much money it would take to fix the harm that was caused. This is called a "measure of damages." Essentially, it means figuring out how much money it would take to make things right after something bad happens. For example, if someone breaks a toy, the measure of damages could be the amount of money it would cost to buy a new toy. In English law, the measure of damages is a really important concept because it helps people who have been harmed get the help they need to fix the things that were broken or hurt.
