Compensation in law is compensation for LOSS. You need to crystallise a loss and prove negligence as a result. Then you may be in a position to require recompense.

Answer 2

No. sufficient guidance has been provided alongside with media sanctions coupled through taxation. The eating public has been offered with more beneficial than sufficient guidance on the area of the hazards of smoking. i trust someone has the right to make sure no matter if or not they opt for to smoke, drink, use drugs, legally marry a similar sex, worship a Pagan or Christian god etc etc. lawsuits will be irresponsibly frivolous so i'm efficient we've not considered the finest one geared in the route of an marketplace that, shall we face it, helped to construct and would make a contribution to the rebuilding of the american economy.

Answer 3

they may give you some small amount of compensation in order to keep you a happy customer but other than that if you haven't lost anything as a result of their negligence then i don't think that you will receive any major compensation!

Answer 4

pure economic loss is usually not recoverable in tort, contractually if you have suffered some damage or loss arising from the breach, if you haven't. there is nothing that can be done.

Answer 5

read the small print on your account,then phone them up and ask to speak to the fraud department,tell them your story and what are they going to do about it.
