      Solution

      Injuria Sine Damnum - This maxim Injuria Sine Damnum means infringement or violation of a legal private right of a person even if there is no actual loss or damage.Ā  In such a case the personĀ  whose right is infringed hasĀ Ā  a good cause of action. It is not necessary for him to prove any special damage. The infringement of private right is actionable per se. What is required to show isĀ  theĀ  violation of a right in which case the law will presume damage.Ā  Thus,Ā  inĀ  casesĀ  of assault, battery, false imprisonment, libel etc., the mere wrongful act isĀ  actionableĀ  without proof of special damage. The Court is bound to award to the plaintiff at least nominal damages if no actual damage is proved.
